X-15 Wide Gape X-Point

Closed, opens at 11amIndependent shop in Eastlake

Available from Patrick's Fly Shop when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The Daiichi X‑15 Wide Gape X‑Point was originally designed as a bass hook for soft plastic Texas rigs but has found a home at the fly-tying bench. Its wide gape and short straight shank make it ideal for baitfish imitations and fly patterns that mimic conventional bass lures. When dressed properly, the hook point often sits hidden within the materials, giving the fly a natural weed guard effect.
