Jig hooks are versatile hooks designed for tying flies that have a jigging or up-and-down motion in the water. Jig-style flies are effective for catching various species, including trout, bass, and panfish.
These fly tying hooks have a bend that angles upward, resembling the shape of a jig hook used in conventional fishing. This design imparts a lifelike action. Jig hooks are often used in nymph patterns but can also be adapted for streamers.
