Daiichi Traditional Nymph Hook 1X-long hooks are about one eye length longer than standard shank length. They are used for slightly longer wet flies, which give them a truer to nature dimension, considering that wet flies represent mayflies, which are long bodied insects. They are also a reasonable length for mayfly nymph imitations or wet flies featuring a bead head. Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world.

The Daiichi 1260 hook was designed in 1995 by the Orvis Company and Angler Sport Group as a hook to use specifically with metal beads to make “bead head” nymphs. The shape of the bend and standard wire facilitates the use of beads with a smaller center hole. The curved shank gives flies a more aesthetically pleasing and natural look. These hooks are also great for hoppers and terrestrials.
