The utility hook. Heavy wire, a wide gap, and a size range from #4 to #24, which is why it ends up under more patterns than anything else in the line.

From the Bench

If you are starting a Firehole box from nothing, start here. It will not be the best hook for any single pattern, and it will be a good hook for almost all of them.

Barbless by Design

Every Firehole Sticks hook is barbless. Cleaner release, less handling, fish back in the water faster.
