Knapek hooks are well-known for their wide gape, extraordinarily long cat-like spear, and stealthy black finish. Strong wire allows for great holding capacity.
The original design for the tying of the world famous Klinkhamer emergers designed by Hans van Klinken the originator of the pattern. Also good for many emerger, emerging nymphs/buzzer patterns and all parachute patterns where a long shank is required.

Fly specific hooks due to hook shape. Very hard to find these days. Excellent hooks at a great price from Competitive Angler.
