The Alec Jackson North Country Hook is a high-quality wet fly and soft-hackle hook designed for trout. It features a 2X short shank, standard wire, needle-sharp point, and mini barb for secure, clean hooksets. The crystal (silver/iridescent) finish enhances the look of silk and thread bodies. With a ring eye and sizes ranging from 5 to 17, it’s ideal for traditional soft hackles, emergers, and spiders fished just below the surface. Made from strong high-carbon steel, it’s a favorite among serious trout tiers.
