Product Overview
The Dai Riki #060 Hook is a versatile, medium‑wire fly‑tying hook designed for classic wet flies, soft hackles, and standard nymph patterns. Known for its clean proportions and dependable strength, the #060 features a down‑eye, sproat bend, and forged construction, giving tiers a balanced, durable platform for a wide range of subsurface trout flies.
With its slightly heavier wire than dry‑fly hooks—but lighter than specialty heavy‑wire nymph hooks—the Dai Riki #060 offers the perfect middle ground for patterns that need to sink naturally without excessive weight. Its chemically sharpened point ensures fast penetration and secure hook‑sets, making it a trusted choice for both traditional and modern fly designs.
