These grub/shrimp hooks were derived from a small fine-wire plain shank hook which was used in Italy for plastic bloodworm imitations.
John Veniard, the world famous fly tyer, and author, recognized their versatility, when Partridge developed them as fly hooks in 1976.
They were given a down eye with an offset bend which made them good hooks and suitable for all types of grub, shrimp, curved
body and some emerger patterns.
Bronze finish.
