Quick take
Strong Japanese-made hooks designed for tying glo bug and egg imitation flies.
The Gamakatsu C14S is a short-shank, 2X strong fly hook with a straight eye, a barbed spear point and forged steel construction. It is built for Glo Bugs and egg patterns, and the heavier wire suits larger eggs. The black finish also lets it work for streamers and tube flies. This pack holds 25 hooks in size 10.
