AHREX NS172 – Curved Gammarus Hook for Gammarus and Scud Patterns
The AHREX NS172 is a purpose-built Curved Gammarus hook from the Nordic Salt series, specifically designed for tying realistic Gammarus and Scud patterns. Its distinctive curved profile closely matches the natural shape of freshwater and coastal amphipods—one of the most important food sources for sea trout and many other fish species.
Featuring a Straight Eye, chemically sharpened Needle Point and a corrosion-resistant Black Nickel finish, the NS172 offers outstanding penetration and long-lasting durability. Its carefully designed curved geometry makes it easy to create highly realistic crustacean imitations with natural proportions and lifelike movement.
Along the Scandinavian coastline, Gammarus are among the most important natural food sources for sea trout throughout much of the year. For this reason, realistic Gammarus patterns have become an essential part of every coastal fly angler's fly box.
