AHREX PR358 – CA Bendback Hook for Weedless Predator Flies & Structure Fishing
The AHREX PR358 is a purpose-built hook from the Predator series, developed in collaboration with renowned fly tyer Chris Adams. Featuring the distinctive CA Bendback geometry, this hook is designed to create virtually weedless predator flies without the need for a traditional weed guard. It is the ideal choice for fishing around weed beds, submerged timber, lily pads and other heavy cover where conventional hooks are more likely to snag.
Equipped with a Straight Eye, chemically sharpened Needle Sharp Point, Micro Barb and a durable Black Nickel Finish, the PR358 combines exceptional strength with innovative hook geometry. The bent-back shank naturally shields the hook point during the retrieve while still allowing fast, reliable penetration when a fish strikes.
Traditional weedless flies rely on mono loops, wire guards or other devices to protect the hook point. A Bendback hook achieves the same objective through its geometry alone. By positioning the hook point above the fly's profile, it slides cleanly over weeds, branches and other underwater obstacles while maintaining excellent hooking efficiency. The result is a cleaner fly, a simpler tying process and dependable performance in challenging environments.
