The company Hanak from the Czech Republic is well known among modern nymph maniacs for making the best and most reliable jig hooks on the market. Originating from the European competition scene these hooks are nowadays found in nearly any nymph box worldwide. No doubt, cause these hooks hold fish on the line - whether small or big.
The H 490 BL is a jig hook with a classic shape matching any nymph pattern. It features a 2x heavy wire - just perfect when targeting big Trout, Barbels or when tying small jig streamer. The ultra sharp Jig Trophy comes with a regular shank and a wide gap for best hook-up rates. Due to its long point fish don't get off during the fight, but can be released easily. Another reason for this is the fact that any Hanak hook is produced barbless already - a very modern attitude.
As any jig hook this one is great if your nymph should be presented near the river bottom. The eye is bend 60 degrees so that your fly rides 'upside-down' in combination with slotted tungsten beads. As a result, your nymph gets stucked much less.
