TMC 200R Natural Bend Hook is a versatile fly-tying hook built for predictable performance across a wide range of patterns. It excels with hoppers, stimulators, wets, and nymphs, and is a preferred choice for pheasant-tail nymphs in sizes 16 and smaller. The natural bend promotes reliable turnover and solid hook engagement in brisk currents, while maintaining a precise gape for secure connections on delicate tippets. This hook pairs well with classic streamer and nymph profiles, delivering consistent flow and strike geometry in the zone where fish feed.

• Pattern versatility: ideal for hoppers, stimulators, wets, nymphs, and pheasant-tail nymphs (size 16 and smaller).
• Notable patterns: George Riebold's "smallmouth" Madam-X size 4; Ed's winged version.
• Sculpin compatibility: F-C Wool-Head Sculpins size 4/6 (size 4 for smallmouth, size 6 for trout).
