Split Shot / Drop Shot Hook

Originally designed for finesse fishing, the Gamakatsu Split Shot/Drop Shot Hook also shines at the fly bench—especially for tying summer steelhead patterns. Its fine wire, sharp point, and slightly upturned eye make it a great choice for low-water wets, small traditional hairwings, and modern minimal patterns. The long point offers excellent penetration on light takes, while the wide gap provides solid hook-ups without overpowering the fly’s profile. A versatile option when stealth, sharpness, and subtle presentation matter.
