Fly Fishing Hooks & Shanks FAQ

Q: What types of fly tying hooks do you sell?
A: Drift Outfitters carries a complete range of fly tying hooks for every style of fly — from dry flies and nymphs to streamers, salmon, and saltwater patterns. Our selection includes barbed and barbless options in various wire weights, bends, and shank lengths to match your tying needs.

Q: How do I choose the right hook for my fly?
A: The hook you choose depends on the type of fly you’re tying and the species you’re targeting. Light-wire hooks are ideal for dry flies that need to float, while heavier hooks are better for nymphs, streamers, or saltwater patterns that must sink. Always match hook size and style to the fly’s proportions and fishing conditions.

Q: What is the difference between barbed and barbless hooks?
A: Barbless hooks are easier to remove and cause less harm to fish, making them ideal for catch-and-release fishing. Barbed hooks provide slightly more holding power but can be de-barbed easily with forceps if preferred.

Q: Which brands of fly tying hooks do you carry?
A: We carry premium hook brands including Ahrex, Hanak, Dohiku, Daiichi, Partridge, Mustad. These manufacturers are known for sharpness, strength, and consistency — trusted by professional tiers and anglers worldwide.

Q: What are specialty hooks used for?
A: Specialty hooks are designed for specific fly styles such as jig hooks for Euro nymphing, stinger hooks for articulated streamers, and tube hooks for salmon or steelhead patterns. Choosing the right specialty hook improves fly performance and hook-up rates.

Q: How should I store my fly tying hooks?
A: Keep hooks organized by size and style in small boxes or labeled compartments. Store them in a dry area to prevent rust, and handle them carefully to maintain point sharpness and integrity.
