Partridge 15BNY Barbless Klinkhamer – The Original British Hook for Klinkhamer and Emerger Patterns
The Partridge 15BNY Barbless Klinkhamer is the modern barbless version of the legendary hook developed for the world-famous Klinkhåmer Special. Featuring its distinctive curved shank, wide gape and perfectly balanced geometry, it is designed for emerger and curved-body patterns that sit naturally in the surface film, exactly as emerging insects do.
Manufactured from premium high-carbon steel with a Black Nickel finish, the 15BNY features a down eye, curved shank and an ultra-sharp long straight point. Its true barbless design delivers excellent penetration, secure hook retention and fish-friendly catch-and-release performance, making it equally suitable for competition and traditional fly fishing.
The Klinkhåmer is one of the most influential fly designs ever created. Its distinctive hook shape allows the abdomen of the fly to hang below the surface while the post and hackle keep it suspended in the surface film. This natural posture is exactly why Klinkhåmer, emerger and curved-body patterns are so effective for trout and grayling.
