Ahrex NS172 Curved Gammarus Hooks

Elevate your fly tying with premium, curved shank hooks designed specifically for gammarus, scud, and shrimp patterns. Built on a strong, corrosion-resistant finish with a precise curve, these hooks help you achieve lifelike profiles and natural drifts in both freshwater and saltwater. A chemically sharpened, barbed point delivers reliable penetration and secure hook holds, while the balanced wire gauge offers the ideal blend of strength and finesse for technical waters.

Whether you’re tying compact scuds for picky trout or robust shrimp imitations for aggressive feeders, the refined bend and short-to-medium shank enhance realism and improve hook-up rates. The wide gape maximizes clearance for dubbing, shellbacks, and resin work without sacrificing performance, making these a go-to choice for modern nymphing and stillwater presentations.

Engineered for consistency and durability, each hook sits correctly in the vise, seats materials cleanly, and maintains shape under pressure. Trusted by discerning tiers, they are a versatile foundation for patterns targeting trout, grayling, and other wary species where profile and penetration matter most.

• Curved profile optimized for gammarus, scud, and shrimp patterns
• Chemically sharpened point for fast, dependable penetration
• Robust, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for multiple environments
