Daiichi 1330 – Short Shank Dry Fly Up-Eye Hook

Some fly fishers prefer up-eye hooks for some of their patterns and claim higher success rates for hook ups. Depending on which knot you use to tie on your flies, this may or may not be true. Theories and suggestions abound and though most tiers prefer down eye hooks, they cannot tell you why. Read info on 1310, this hook is the same except it is an up-eye instead of a down eye model.
