Daiichi 1140 Special Wide Gape Hooks
Whenever you need to imitate the small stuff and you want a hook that won't compromise gap and hookup success, Daiichi's 1140 Special Wide Gape Hooks is just the right choice. A unique hook, the 1140 features a continuous bend, up-eye construction, and wide gap in order to let you hook fish and hold them during the whole fight. Made in sizes 18 through 22 with a 1x fine wire, this hook is an excellent contender for imitating midges, micro mayflies, and tiny caddis in nearly all stages of their life.
Uses
With its fine wire and large gap, Daiichi's 1140 Special Wide Gape Hook allows you to imitate a broad range of insects in various stages of life. One of those hooks that can serve when tying surface and subsurface imitations, the 1140 is a great choice for imitating midges, tiny caddis, and mayflies as well as small ants and beetles. No matter what you're tying, this sharp hook is sure to provide all of the power you need in spite of its small size.
Comparisons
Although Daiichi's 1140 Special Wide Gape Hooks is a hook that's like few others, a good alternative is Tiemco's TMC 206BL Caddis Larvae and Emerger Hook. This hook has a very similar bend with an upturned eye and wide gap to give solid hooking and holding power, and you can use it to tie similar flies as the Daiichi 1140. However, one difference worth noting is that Tiemco's TMC 260BL Hooks come in a much wider range of sizes-10-20, compared to Daiichi's 18-22-so depending on what you're looking to tie, one hook may have a better option than the other.
