AHREX HR420 – Progressive Double Hook for Classic & Modern Salmon Fly Patterns
The AHREX HR420 is a classic Progressive Double hook from the Home Run series, designed for tying both traditional and contemporary fly patterns for Atlantic salmon, Pacific salmon, steelhead and sea-run brown trout. Its elegantly curved long shank and balanced proportions provide the perfect foundation for everything from classic Hair-Wing flies to modern Scandinavian salmon patterns.
Featuring a traditional Up Eye, chemically sharpened Needle Sharp Point, Micro Barb and a durable Black Nickel Finish, the HR420 combines timeless design with modern AHREX manufacturing standards. The strong wire construction and generous hook gape deliver dependable penetration and secure hook-holding power when targeting powerful anadromous fish in demanding river conditions.
Double hooks have been an integral part of Atlantic salmon fly tying for more than a century. They offer an excellent compromise between single and treble hooks—providing improved hooking security while remaining lighter, more elegant and generally less intrusive than trebles. Their balanced profile also complements the proportions of many traditional salmon fly designs, making them a favourite among both classic and modern fly tyers.
