Comparisons

Kona’s BC2 Barbless Curved Nymph Emerger Shrimp Hooks can be easily compared to their Kona BC1 Barbless Curved Nymph Scud Pupa Hooks. Both of these hooks have a curved shank and can be used to tie similar flies, but the BC2 has a straight eye as well as a 2x wide gap. This makes it a better option for tying emergers that sit directly in the surface film, while the BC1 would make a better option when looking to tie smaller flies that require a size 20 hook, which isn’t an option for the BC2.
