What it is
Hareline Core C2441 is a steelhead and salmon hook with a classic salmon/steelhead bend and a tapered loop eye. It’s finished in black nickel and built with a small barb and a tough, durable coating.
What to tie with it
This is a natural fit for traditional steelhead and salmon dressings where you want that classic profile and the tapered loop eye to guide your leader cleanly to the fly. Tie it for hair wing, quill wing, and feather wing patterns, and it also carries large marabou and soft-hackle style collars without feeling under-gunned.
Flies and the fish they're for
On this hook, a Steelhead Flea (also known as the Salmon River Flea) is a simple, proven pattern for migratory steelhead and for big salmonids in rivers and tributaries. It’s also the right style of hook for classic Atlantic salmon flies swung in salmon rivers, and for traditional Pacific salmon and steelhead patterns fished on the swing or under a floating line and tip, depending on the run and water speed.
How it compares
It matches up closely with the Daiichi 2441 Traditional Salmon Hook in size options, the bend shape, and the same tapered loop eye style.
