Fly Fishing Tying Hooks – Ed's Fly Shop
The 523 is a 3XL version of the 516. To compensate for the additional leverage generated from the extended length Firehole Outdoors increased the wire diameter by one size, e.g. 523 #10 and 516 #8 have the same wire diameter. This is a 3X long length hook with a 1X gape. It has a 60 degree down eye and is formed from a heavy weight wire. Available in sizes #4 to #14.
Firehole Sticks 523 - 14
