An excellent hook for an excellent pattern, Daiichi’s 1167 Klinkhammer Hooks are just what you need whenever you’re stocking the box with Klinkhammers. A super-effective pattern, the Klinkhammer was designed by Hans van Klinken in the early 80s for imitating emerging caddis, but since then, this pattern has become universally effective when trout are slashing at emergers. The 1167 Klinkhammer Hook is designed around this pattern and features a curved shank, wide gap, straight eye, and slightly heavy wire that allows your fly to rest just in the surface tension. Daiichi makes this hook with a black nickel finish in sizes 8 through 20 so that you can imitate anything from caddis and mayflies all the way down to small midges, and although the 1167 Hook was made with the Klinkhammer in mind, it’s also a great choice for tying various other emergers, caddis/midge larvae, and scuds/sowbugs.
