Hareline AHrex Hr412 Low Water Single Salmon Hook

What it is

The AHrex HR412 is a single salmon hook with a low-water profile and a classic appearance. It has a black nickel finish and an upturned eye, giving you a traditional look while keeping the silhouette lean for sparse dressings.

What to tie with it

This hook is built for classic salmon and steelhead flies, especially sparse low-water patterns where you don’t want extra bulk in the body. It’s a natural fit for feather wing flies and hair wing flies, whether you’re tying traditional, frame-worthy classics or more modern, pared-down hairwings.

Flies and the fish they're for

Tyers commonly reach for the HR412 when they want a low-water single for anadromous fish, which puts it right in the lane for Atlantic salmon and steelhead on rivers. It’s also a hook people use for night fishing for sea trout, including river and estuary fishing where a slim-profile, easy-tracking fly is the point. If you’re tying classics that have become widely fished beyond just salmon, this style of low-water single also shows up on patterns anglers fish for trout as well.

How it compares

It’s similar in construction and bend to the Daiichi 2421 Low Water Salmon Hook, so if you already like the 2421 shape, the HR412 lands in that same low-water single-hook lane.
