Gamakatsu S10 Standard Down-Eye Hook

The Gamakatsu S10 Standard Down-Eye Hook is a versatile, refined hook that bridges classic dry fly design with traditional wet fly applications. Its standard proportions and fine wire make it equally at home on the surface or just below it, excelling in patterns that rely on balance, movement, and clean presentation. 25 per pack.

Performance

The fine wire construction supports high-floating dry flies while also allowing wet flies to sink naturally without added stiffness or weight. The down-eye promotes smooth thread transitions and traditional silhouettes, and Gamakatsu’s chemically sharpened point delivers fast, reliable penetration on both subtle rises and swung takes.

Why We Use It

- We use it for classic dry flies when flotation and delicacy matter

- We also tie wet flies on it for a natural sink rate and fluid movement
