TIEMCO TMC7999 #8 Small Pack (20pcs)

Steelhead/salmon hook with tapered loop and up-eye. The 7999 for wet fishing is made of a material that is a step heavier than ordinary salmon hooks. The reason is not only its sturdiness, but also because there are many situations in which it is more advantageous to have a weight of this size. For example, in large steelhead rivers where the use of weights is restricted, it is useful for light and enjoyable fishing where you use floating lines to control the lower reaches of the current by techniques such as drifting the fly and back-mending. For low water patterns and dry flies, try the lightweight TMC7989. Alternatively, TMC5262, 5263, 200R, and 2457, sizes #8 and below, have already proven their strength to withstand steelheading.
