DOHIKU HDB – Premium Hook for Blob, FAB & Eggstasy Patterns
The DOHIKU HDB is a premium barbless hook developed specifically for tying Blob flies, FAB (Foam Arsed Blob), Eggstasy patterns, egg flies and other highly visible attractor flies for stillwater trout fishing. Its short shank, wide gape and strong wire provide the perfect platform for bulky synthetic materials while maintaining excellent hooking performance.
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel, the HDB features a chemically sharpened point, durable Black Nickel finish and a barbless design. Built to withstand hard-fighting stillwater trout, it delivers exceptional penetration and dependable hook-holding performance.
Unlike traditional fly patterns, Blob flies are not intended to imitate a specific aquatic insect. Instead, they trigger a fish's curiosity and predatory instinct through bright colours and a highly visible silhouette. Because these patterns are usually tied with bulky materials, a short-shank, wide-gape hook is essential to maintain reliable hook-ups.
