Quick take
A 240-piece fly tying assortment in four popular sizes with dry and nymph patterns, stored in a magnetic compartment box.
This kit gives fly tyers 240 barbed hooks in sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16, split evenly between standard dry fly and curved nymph, scud and pupa patterns. The hooks are high carbon steel with needle points and a wide gap. They sit in an eight-compartment box with magnetic pads, so the sizes stay sorted at the vise or in a bag.
