Partridge SLP Barbless Grub Caddis Pupa – A Versatile British Hook for Pupae, Scuds and Curved Nymph Patterns
The Partridge SLP Barbless Grub Caddis Pupa is a modern barbless hook designed for caddis pupae, grub patterns, scuds, shrimp and other curved-body nymphs. Featuring a gently curved shank, a super wide gape and standard wire construction, it delivers an outstanding balance of natural fly proportions, strength and reliable hook-setting performance.
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel with a Black Nickel finish, the SLP features a down eye, a Super Wide Gape and a distinctive up-turned Straight Surehold Point. This geometry provides excellent penetration and exceptional hook-holding ability, even when tying larger tungsten bead patterns or bulky curved bodies.
The SLP was developed for fly tyers looking for a highly versatile curved hook. Its Super Wide Gape maintains excellent hook clearance with bulky flies, while the up-turned Surehold Point improves hook retention on true barbless patterns. It is equally at home with traditional caddis pupae and modern Euro nymph designs.
