It's the Jig Superb on steroids, a heavy wire version with a micro barb. If you have waters with large strong fish, give yourself a little extra meat on your hook to land those fish with the Hanak 45-XH.
Jigs are great for heavy bead head nymphs. The shape of the hook allows a slotted bead to ride above the shank with out blocking the gap like a traditional beaded hook. They also tend to ride point up, reducing hookups with bottom. Medium wire, extra long needle point, extra wide gape, black nickel finish. Hanak hooks are made from hi-carbon steel, with extra long needle points and chemically sharpened. The quality of their wire and hardening process make for a top notch hook.
