Umpqua’s “Super Jig” hook, the XC400BL-BN features a 60-degree vertical eye bend combined with a carefully curated wide gap to optimize hooking ability. Designed for tyers seeking the perfect hook for a wide variety of jig-style tactical nymphs, the XC400BL-BN pairs well with standard tungsten slotted beads, but it also works well with Umpqua’s Jig Bomb beads when you want to maximize the available shank length of your hook.

The UC6555BL-BN is another competition style jig hook similar to the UC650BL-BN, but this hook pares down the extra wide gape of the UC650 with medium wire, balancing it with a slightly upturned point for optimum hooking and holding ability. It pairs well with standard slotted tungsten beads to create a variety of European-style tactical nymphs that ride point-up in the water.
