Partridge CS86 Universal Predator – A Classic British Hook for Streamers and Predator Fly Patterns
The Partridge CS86 Universal Predator is a versatile streamer hook designed for tying modern predator flies targeting pike, large trout, perch, zander and other freshwater predators. Featuring a strong wire, wide gape and well-balanced traditional profile, it performs equally well with compact baitfish imitations and large, full-bodied streamers tied with natural or modern synthetic materials.
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel, the CS86 features a chemically sharpened point, forged construction, Black Nickel finish and a Micro Barb for secure hook retention. Its combination of strength, penetration and reliability makes it an excellent choice when targeting powerful fish that demand dependable tackle.
Unlike highly specialised streamer hooks designed for a single application, the CS86 has been developed as a truly versatile predator hook. Its carefully balanced proportions make it equally suitable for slim baitfish imitations, classic Bucktail streamers, EP fibre patterns, Deceivers and large articulated-style predator flies. Whether you prefer traditional fly designs or the latest synthetic materials, the CS86 provides an excellent foundation for a wide variety of streamer patterns.
