Daiichi 1140 Midge Hook features a 20-degree shank up-eye and offset, york-bend profile for precise midge patterns. The short-shank design keeps the hook compact while maintaining a robust bend for durability. An over-size hook gap complements delicate bodies and small hackles, while the bronze finish gives a traditional, low-visibility appearance that anglers associate with dependable midges.
Designed for tying tiny patterns, this hook is a favored choice for Royal Griffith’s Gnat and tiny dry woolly hooks. The combination of a short shank, offset profile, and york-bend supports consistent tie-ins and reliable performance when pairing slender bodies with tiny hackles, while the larger gap accommodates delicate materials without crowding.
