Similar to the UC655BL-BN, the UC660BL-BN is a standard wide gape competition style jig hook, but this model features a straight barbless point for anglers who want to maximize their hook gape without moving all the way up to an extra wide gape hook like the UC650BL-BN. It pairs well with standard slotted tungsten beads to create a variety of European-style tactical nymphs that ride point-up in the water. If you want to maximize the available shank length when tying on this hook, try it with Umpqua's Jig Bomb beads instead. This hook is part of our UC competition hook collection designed to give anglers and tyers an unbeatable value on a carefully crafted selection of shapes that hook and hold fish in stealthy black nickel barbless models.
