MFC Belly Bumper Hook
The Belly Bumper Hook is similar to the old Mustad 79666 Keel Hook that went out of production many years ago. This hook is a little different in two respects: First off, it has a little deeper gap than the original so you have a little more room to play with. The second, and probably the most important, is that it features a vertical ring eye so that your flies always track the way you intended them to. This is a great hook for tying a variety of weedless streamer and baitfish patterns, and will also work great for tying Stacked Blondes.

I’ve been using this hook for several months now and it’s proven reliable for tying weedless streamers. The vertical ring eye keeps the flies on track, which makes a big difference in presentation. The gap is deeper than the old Mustad version, so I have more room when adjusting the fly.

Great hook for tying baitfish patterns. The vertical eye helps maintain proper tracking, and the deeper gap gives me better control when tying. I’ve used it for both streamers and Stacked Blondes with good results.

Solid construction and fits well with my existing fly tying setup. The gap depth is a small improvement over the old model, and the ring eye helps with consistency in fly tracking.
