Hends Dry BL474 – Fine Barbless Hook for Dry Flies, Sedges and Delicate Fly Patterns
The Hends Dry BL474 is a premium barbless fly tying hook designed for tying dry flies, sedges, emergers and other delicate surface patterns. Featuring a fine wire construction and a relatively short shank, it offers excellent floatation while maintaining the strength needed to confidently land large trout and grayling.
Manufactured from premium Hi-Carbon steel, the Hends BL474 features a Down Eye, Fine Wire construction, Short Shank, Round Bend, Black Nickel finish and a chemically sharpened barbless point with a slightly upturned profile. Its lightweight design keeps dry flies riding high on the surface, while the exceptionally sharp point provides fast penetration and reliable hook sets.
The BL474 is one of Hends' most versatile dry fly hooks. Compared to the ultra-fine BL404, it features a slightly heavier Fine Wire construction, providing additional strength while preserving excellent floating characteristics. This makes it an outstanding choice for sedges, mayflies, CDC patterns and other dry flies intended for larger or more powerful fish.
