The Gamakatsu C12U Caddis Pupae hook has a very large bend in the shank that brings the hook eye to be parallel and in line with the hook point. This hook is ideal for caddis pupae patterns or other pupae because this curved shank adds an “implied wiggle” to patterns. If you know the life cycle of caddisflies or many other insects, you know that the emerger stage of their lifecycle is when they swim and wriggle their way to the surface. Motion can be a strike trigger when fishing these patterns, which gives all the more reason to use a hook-like the C12U
Uses: Worm Patterns, Caddis Pupae Patterns, nymph patterns
