Traditionally, Bend Back flies are a style of fly that are tied on a specially bent hook that cause the fly to ride upside down while being fished. Hence, Gamakatsu’s modern day version, the SBB26 Bend Back hook!
With its specifically designed bend on the shank, the Gamakatsu SBB26 bend back hook allows wing materials to flow neatly over the point of the hook which causes the hook to invert in the water with the point in the upright or weedless position. This allows the fly to slip through and around cover with ease. The Bend Back fly hook is the perfect choice for tying deceiver and baitfish patterns.
Available in sizes 4, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0.
