Nanak H400 gold jig hooks

[sainty]

Hi folks,

Has anybody used the Nanak H400 gold jigs for weighted & tungsten bead head nymphs?

Since I fished a lot of bed rock rivers I'm interested in the claims that they are presented with the hook upside & therefore reduce snags on the river floor.

H 400 BL Jig > Hanak > Fly Hooks - Barbless > Fishing shop FISHING-MART: Salmo, Rapala ...

All opinions & experience as to the use of these appreciated.

Many thanks

Simon

Jig hooks are designed to fish with the hook off the bottom.

Fly Tying Boutique has the Dohiku J hooks without the need to import from euro seller. I had some recently, very pleased with them.

you can get the jig hooks from Unique Flies: Welcome in the UK.

there a better shape for a jig than the Dohiku

Hi guys,
I think shape Dohiku hooks HDN 302 SP is very good and me personally meets the these because it is made of thinner wire. I have not good experience with Hanak hooks (frequently broken hook).

Cheers

I use all of the Hanak hooks and they are great i have never had a problem, always get a fantastic service from John as well. Only yesterday I landed a 4lb sea trout while grayling fishing in a strong current and the hook held well and did bend at all. Fantastic hooks
