Some fly fishers prefer up-eye hooks for some of their patterns and claim higher success rates for hookups. Otherwise, this hook is identical to the 1310 Short-Shank Dry Fly Hook.

A short shank hook allows you to tie a standard length pattern on a short shank hook. By selecting one size larger than normal - a size 12 Adams fits on a size 10 short shank. This can be beneficial as it gives you one size heavier wire, therefore increased strength. It also gives a wider gape for increased hooking effectiveness. Of course, these hooks are also used for short dry flies, spiders, beetles, ants, etc.

The hooks are made of the finest high-carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook. Daiichi hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle point. This eliminates irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, and gives amazing speed of penetration.

  • Round bend
  • Up-eye
  • 1X short shank
  • Uses: Standard dry flies with wide gape, Short-bodied dry

Testimonials

Hands down best fly shop I have been to!

Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, super friendly and great variety of product.

Brett Johnson

Excellent shop!

They've got anything you could need. It's a huge selection, which is surprising for a small town shop. They're amazing people and Collin can answer any questions you have. His knowledge is impressive.

Incredible preparation & professionalism

I recently spent a weekend with a close group of friends fly fishing along with Colin and team - incredible preparation & professionalism, quality camp equipment and fishing gear and just a first class operation overall. I would and highly recommend RMFS to any and all fishing skill levels interested in enjoying themselves on the water. It was a really positive experience for our group.

The prices are fair and shipping is lighting fast

Congrats to Colin and Tammy on the move to their new location in downtown Olds! The prices are fair, they have a great selection and the shipping is lighting fast. Best sticker offerings I have seen south of Red Deer as a kicker.

I had a fabulous lesson with Jordan from Rocky Mountain Fly Shop

I had a fabulous lesson with Jordan from Rocky Mountain Fly Shop. We went out on the water and he tailored the lesson to my experience and skill level. We touched on casting, fly selection and an introduction to reading water. It was all hands on and I walked away with the confidence to try new things this summer. It was a perfect morning and I'll definitely do it again.
