Daiichi 1160 Klinkhamer – The Original Hook for Klinkhamer and Modern Emerger Patterns
The Daiichi 1160 Klinkhamer is a specialized fly tying hook developed for Klinkhåmer Special, emerger patterns and other flies that imitate aquatic insects during the critical stage of emergence. Its distinctive curved shank, wide gape and down eye create the perfect balance, allowing the fly to sit naturally in the surface film while ensuring excellent hooking performance.
Manufactured in Japan from premium high-carbon steel, the Daiichi 1160 features a Down Eye, Standard Wire construction, Curved Shank, Wide Gape, forged design, Bronze finish and a chemically sharpened point. Its carefully engineered geometry has made it one of the most popular hooks for tying Klinkhåmer and emerger patterns, trusted by fly tyers worldwide for its strength, consistency and exceptional hooking ability.
Designed specifically for Klinkhamer and emerger patterns, the curved shank allows the abdomen to hang naturally below the surface while the parachute hackle keeps the fly floating in the surface film. The wide gape improves hooking efficiency, and the chemically sharpened point delivers fast, reliable penetration even when targeting selective trout and grayling.
