Daiichi 1130 Wide Gap Scud Hook – 25 Pack
Tiemco introduced continuous bend hooks into the American fly tying market in the 1980’s. This particular style is similar to the TMC 2487, which quickly became popularly known as a “Scud Hook” because of its shape, which is similar to the curve of freshwater shrimp (scud). Flies tied on hooks with bent shanks or continuous bends have a more natural shape or look more lifelike according to many fishers.

I’ve been using these scud hooks for several seasons now. The bend shape matches perfectly with shrimp imitations. The hook holds its shape well and doesn’t break during tying. Great value for the pack size.
Liam Davies –
The 1130 hook is very close to the classic scud design. I use it mostly for nymph patterns. The gap is wide enough to allow for natural fly placement without being too bulky.
Michael Fisher –
Tied dozens of flies with this hook and the results look authentic. The steel is sharp and the bend stays consistent. I recommend it to anyone doing freshwater fly tying.
