Daiichi 2340 6X-Long Streamer Hooks have a Limerick bend, down-eye, 1X-heavy wire, and a 6X-long shank. 6X-long hooks are preferred by some tiers for streamers because they like the aesthetics of the finished flies. A 6X-long hook allows the tier to create long minnow imitations but keeps the bend of the hook near the tail of the fly.
