Tiemco 102Y

Description

Originally, the Tiemco 102Y was designed as a solution for the “quick take” strikes of Japanese native trout. Now, the TMC 102Y has become the standard hook for tying parachute-style patterns. The point has moved back slightly for more secure hooking. This is a great hook for tying emergers as well as dry flies. It is a sturdy hook with a very sharp point to set the hook with ease. If you’re looking for a new dry fly hook, the TMC 102Y is a little different.

These fly tying hooks come in odd sizes instead of your typical even-numbered sizes. Featuring a shorter shank and wide gape, these fly tying hooks work great for short-bodied dries like Griffith’s Gnats and Blue Wing Olive patterns. The 1x fine wide gap hook will also tie Mayfly, Caddis, or Midge dries and emergers. The Tiemco 102Y is the hook used on Mercer’s Missing Link.

Tiemco is a Japanese manufacturer that started in 1984 and has quickly become a world leader in fly fishing hooks. They have more than 40 designs covering the needs of  innovative fly tiers. Made of high carbon steel and chemically sharpened.
