Daiichi 1110 Wide-Gape Dry Fly Hook Straight Eye

This hook was designed by Jim Lepage and the Orvis Co. and patented as the “Big Eye” hook, in 1990. This hook features an oversized eye to facilitate easy threading of tippet material, and has the dimensions of a modern dry fly hook, including a slightly wider gape than a Mustad 94840 standard dry fly hook.
