Copper John is a classic nymph hook pattern, and the TMC 2499SP-BL Copper John delivers that proven design in a barbless, high-performance form. This hook features a barbless super-point and straight-eye, built for dependable hookups and precise line control during nymph fishing. Key specifications describe its profile: 2x heavy wire, 3x wide, 2x short, curved shank. The combination supports a robust, lifelike presentation for stream nymphs, particularly scud and caddis larva patterns. The curved shank contributes to a compact silhouette and consistent hook exposure in varied water. For anglers tying scud and caddis larva imitations, this TMC Copper John variant offers a durable, reliable platform that works with standard nymph rigs and typical tippet setups. Its barbless design aids quick release when required and reduces handling stress during fights in tight water. - Barbless super-point - Straight-eye - 2x heavy wire - 3x wide - 2x short, curved shank
