When you’re fishing deep in search of the true monsters of a waterway, Ahrex’s NS115 Deep Streamer D/E Hooks are there to help you land those trophy fish. Although these heavy-wire hooks only range in size from 2 through 8, they’re sturdy and reliable despite their smaller sizes, and the addition of a black nickel finish, chemically sharpened construction, and small barb ensure that you always have solid hooking and holding power. Whether you’re stripping flies along the bottom of a mud flat for striped bass or dredging the deepest pockets in a tidal estuary for searun trout, the NS115 Deep Streamer Hooks are the way to go. Uses With their heavy-wire construction and strong build, the NS115 Hooks are a good choice anytime you need to get a fly deep in the water column. These hooks have a versatile profile as well, and you can turn to them whether you’re tying baitfish, crustaceans, or even saltwater worm patterns. Comparisons A hook that’s similar to the NS115 Deep Streamer Hook is Mustad’s S71SNP-DT Saltwater Hooks. While these hooks don’t have the slight downturned eye of Ahrex’s NS115 Hooks, they do have a 2x heavy wire that’s similar to the NS115, and they’re also a great choice for predatory species. One difference between the two is that Mustad’s S71SNP-DT Hooks have a Duratin finish, while Ahrex’s NS115 Deep Streamer Hooks have a black nickel finish. Other than that, these hooks can be used for pretty similar functions.
