Q: What makes a jig hook different from a standard fly hook?
A: Jig hooks feature a 60° or 90° bend near the eye, positioning the hook point upward when fishing. This design helps reduce snags and keeps your fly riding hook-up, making jig hooks ideal for nymphs, streamers, and Euro-style flies fished close to the bottom.

Q: Why are jig hooks popular for Euro nymphing?
A: The upward hook angle and tungsten bead compatibility make jig hooks a favourite for Euro nymphing techniques. They improve strike-to-landing ratios, keep flies in the strike zone, and present nymphs naturally with fewer hang-ups on rocks or structure.

Q: What sizes of jig hooks do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters stocks jig hooks in a variety of sizes from #2 to #20, covering everything from heavy anchor flies to micro nymphs. Each hook is made with high-carbon steel and chemically sharpened points for dependable penetration.

Q: Which brands of jig hooks do you carry?
A: We carry jig hooks from Ahrex, Hanak, Dohiku, Fulling Mill and Aqua Flies. These industry leaders produce precision-engineered hooks trusted by professional tiers and competition anglers alike for strength, consistency, and performance.

Q: Can jig hooks be used for streamers or other fly types?
A: Absolutely. Jig hooks are excellent for tying balanced leeches and small streamers. Their hook-up orientation and secure bead seating make them versatile for both nymphing and light streamer applications.

Q: How should I store and maintain jig hooks?
A: Keep jig hooks in a dry, organized fly-tying box or magnetic hook case. Avoid moisture exposure and check points regularly for sharpness. Proper storage ensures consistent quality and longevity at the tying bench.
