An excellent hook for tying your longer-bodied nymphs and wet flies, Core’s C1560 Nymph Hooks are a reliable option whether you’re tying big stonefly nymphs for a fast-flowing stream or chunky dragonfly nymphs for hitting the stillwater. A strong hook, the C1560 Nymph Hooks have a 2x-3x long shank and are made from a heavy wire, which provides strength while letting your flies sink a little quicker. Made with a bronze finish, chemically sharpened point, and small barb, these hooks give a good look on your flies and provide all of the power that you need to tackle aggressive fish. Made in sizes 6 through 24, Core lets you match the big stuff just as easily as the small stuff with their C1560 Nymph Hooks. Uses Core’s C1560 Nymph Hooks are an all-purpose nymph and wet fly hook that gives a little extra length to the shank. This makes them a great choice whenever you need to build longer-bodied patterns ranging from nymphs, wet flies, and even streamers. Comparisons The 1717 2X-Long Nymph Hooks from Daiichi are a pretty similar hook to Core’s C1560 Nymph Hooks. Both of these hooks have a longer shank and down-eye with strong wire, which makes them useful for the same types of patterns and fly styles. One difference between the two is that the 1717 2X-Long Nymph are made in sizes down to a 2 and the C1560s stop at a 6. On the other hand, the C1560 Hooks drop all the way down to a size 24, whereas the Daiichi option only goes to 18, so depending on the size of fly you’re looking to tie, one of these two hooks may offer a better range of size.
