When you need a saltwater flats hook that won’t open up and still penetrates cleanly, the Umpqua XS420 BN5X Flats fits. This is an extra-strong, standard-length hook with a straight eye and needle point. Umpqua’s bend is shaped to hold fish securely, which helps on patterns that get eaten hard and fast.
In the XS420 BN5X family, the focus stays the same: flats flies like Gotcha, Charlie, and Scampi. We stock it in size #1/0. The BN5X finish is Umpqua’s corrosion-resistant coating for saltwater use.
