The Ahrex FW560 Nymph Long Hook is the industry standard for tying elongated subsurface patterns, including stonefly nymphs, large caddis larvae, damsel nymphs, and classic woolly buggers. Part of the Freshwater Series, it features a traditional down-eye and a 2X-long shank that provides the perfect, sleek profile for long-bodied aquatic insects without requiring you to downsize or widen the hook gape. Forged from extra-strong, heavy-gauge wire, the FW560 delivers excellent sink rates and the reliable structural power needed to muscle large river trout, smallmouth bass, and steelhead out of fast currents. Each hook features a stealthy black nickel finish, a chemically sharpened point, and a precise micro-barb for secure hooksets.
