Knapek hooks are specialty hooks BQA found in the Czech Republic. It is a competition style hook that is barb-less and very sharp. Setting the hook into a fish is easier because the resistance that the barb usually creates is eliminated. This reduces the chance of losing fish immediately after the hook is set. Flies tied on these hooks minimize injury to the fish and allow the hook to be removed without taking the fish out of the water. The hook also possesses a special turned offset point. This razor sharp point helps reduce contact with the streambed and enables it to stay sharp longer. Constructed from certified, high quality carbon steel in the Czech Republic, the hooks are mechanically and chemically sharpened to create an ultra sticky point. The ultimate for Czech Nymphing!
