The Kamasan B405 Trout Subsurface Fly Tying Hooks series features a short shank (1XS), medium wire, lightly forged construction. It is best used for dries, unweighted/lightly weighted nymphs, and all sorts of "just wet flies", such as flies that just hang under the surface of the water. Each pack contains 25 chemically sharpened, needle-point hooks.
