Standard Dry Fly Hook - 1X Long

Hook

Description

A standard dry fly hook in 1X long features the same lightweight wire and fine proportions of a traditional dry fly hook, but with a shank that is one size longer than standard. This added length provides extra room for extended-body patterns and slender silhouettes without increasing the overall hook weight.

The elongated shank is ideal for mayfly imitations, hoppers, and parachute patterns where additional tying space enhances profile and realism. Despite the longer shank, the hook maintains a narrow gap, round bend, and fine wire construction to ensure natural flotation, crisp presentation, and reliable hooking performance.

A 1X long dry fly hook is a go-to choice when you need a slightly longer, more elegant body shape while preserving the delicate behavior expected from a true dry-fly hook.
