Quick take
Stainless steel wide-gap fly hook designed for saltwater shrimp patterns and tube fly trailers.
The Gamakatsu SC15 is a wide gap saltwater fly hook in a silver stainless steel finish, here in size 2. It suits tying shrimp patterns, small tarpon flies and tube fly trailers. A good fit for fly tiers who want a roomy gap for saltwater patterns.
Best for
- Tying saltwater shrimp patterns for permit and redfish
- Small tarpon and bonefish flies
- Anchoring tube fly trailers
Skip if
- You tie only freshwater dry flies
- You fish only open-water situations
Strengths
- Stainless construction resists corrosion in saltwater
- Wide gap accommodates bulk of shrimp patterns
- Smaller profile suits realistic baitfish imitation
Trade-offs
- Stainless steel is harder to bend; can break if forced
