Umpqua XC450BL-BN Barbless Jig Hooks

The Umpqua XC450BL-BN Barbless Jig Hooks are designed for fly tiers who need a strong, wide-gape hook for tying tungsten bead nymphs and small jig-style streamers. Featuring a 60-degree jig eye, heavy-wire construction, and an extra-wide hook gap, these hooks provide the strength and hooking performance needed for modern European nymphing and other subsurface fly fishing techniques.

The XC450BL-BN features an XX-wide gape that provides additional clearance between the hook point and shank, making it particularly useful when tying flies with bulky bodies or oversized tungsten beads. Its extended barbless needle point is designed for reliable hook penetration while riding point-up in the water to help reduce snagging.

These hooks pair with standard slotted tungsten beads and Umpqua Jig Bomb beads, allowing fly tiers to create a variety of weighted nymphs and small jig streamers.

Finished in black nickel, the Umpqua XC450BL-BN combines a versatile jig-hook design with the durability needed for targeting trout and other hard-fighting freshwater species.
