TMC 2312 Hook
Best versatile hook for tiers creating delicate dry fly patterns.
This is the rare hook that bridges the gap between delicate dry flies and heavier nymphs. Its lightweight wire keeps your patterns riding high on the surface, though you sacrifice a bit of brute strength compared to heavier-gauge options. It’s the ultimate versatile choice for tiers who prioritize natural presentation over raw power.
