Whether you’re fishing a tailwater packed with scuds and trophy fish or you just need a hook with a bit more weight to get your flies down, Daiichi’s 1120 Heavy Wire Scud Hook is a great choice for it all. Daiichi makes their 1120 Hooks with a 2x heavy wire to aid in fighting heavy fish in tough currents while also adding some weight to get your flies down deep. Crafted with a curved shank, the 1120 Hook is an excellent choice for imitating things like scuds, sowbugs, and caddis pupae, and with sizes ranging from a 6 all the way down to a 22, you can match just about any insect in the system.

Uses

Built with a curved shank and heavy wire, Daiichi’s 1120 Heavy Wire Scud Hooks are a hook that you can turn to any time you’re looking to tie subsurface patterns with a curved look. This hook was designed for imitating crustaceans like scuds and sowbugs, but its versatile build and range of sizes allow you to tie anything from caddis larvae/pupae, midges, cranefly larvae, and even some worm and egg patterns.

Comparisons

Gamakatsu’s C12 Scud Hook is another fine option whenever you’re looking for a hook with a curved shank. Like the Daiichi 1120 Hook, the C12 features a heavy wire for added weight and strong holding power, and one of the main differences between the two is the sizing options available. Daiichi makes their scud hook in sizes 6 through 22 and Gamakatsu’s C12 is available in a 10 through 16, so if you want a wider range of sizes, the 1120 is a better choice.
