Daiichi 1170 – Standard Dry Fly Hook

Introduction

Daiichi introducedthe Daiichi 1170 Standard Dry Fly Hook as an improvement to the standard 94840. The advantages of the 1170 include high carbon steel for more strength and sharpness; chemically sharpened needlepoints for superior penetration and a smaller barb that is approximately 40% of the wire. Daiichi 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. The hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle point eliminating irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots and gives amazing speed of penetration.
