The Togens Scud 3X Heavy Hooks are an excellent nymphing hook for tying patterns including scuds, shrimp, caddis pupa, and many nymphing patterns. The shank is 1X short shank with a nice forged round curve to the hook. These heavy hooks are my favorite to tie many of my flies for the seriously, voracious beasts in the river.
All of Togens hooks are made of premium high-carbon steel for the stout and durability for a long lasting quality hook. The 3X heavy hooks have a constant taper which provides a solid shape and finish. These beefy hooks have a remarkable speed of penetration, and the extra wire weight accelerates the sinking capacity of the hook for the subsurface flies.
Togens Scud 3X Heavy Hooks come in size 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. They can be purchased in 100 and 1,000 count. Features of the hook include the forged round bend, a down-eye, 1X short shank, and 3X strong.
