Dohiku Barbless Hooks – Black Nickel

Dohiku barbless fly hooks I saw these on a Slovakian fly shop’s web site, black nickel finish barbless hooks that look mighty interesting. Czech nymphing being all the latest rage, it always pays to see what everyone else is using just to keep abreast of change.

A slight upturn to the point and a hint of a Sproat bend makes these singular among the mainstream vendors, almost all of which are using Model Perfect bends – and have at most one or two styles of barbless hooks available.

Dohiku Barbless While the US dollar has suffered considerably overseas, and is nearing uncharted lows against most currencies, it’s something to keep in mind if you have unique needs and the conventional stuff just doesn’t apply.

I like the wide gape and narrow angle of the down eye, these remind me of old Partridge hooks of years past – and look strong enough to handle large fish in the small sizes. I would mention Carp, but they ignore my best efforts regularly.

I requested a price list in US dollars and Euro’s, anyone had a chance to play with these yet?

UPDATE: At the current exchange rate these are $5.28 per 25 hooks (3.32 Euro’s per 25) There are no import or export taxes associated with the purchase.

    Fly tyers are odd ducks, hunched over vises and obsessing endlessly over the tiniest hook details while the rest of the world is gaining knowledge via “American Idol.”

    Hell, that explains why I scored 6 on the IQ test, it must’ve been the “current events” category that threw me.

    I’ll take “Mud Dwelling Mayflies” for $600, Bob.
