Shrimp are a very common source of food in just about every saltwater environment, and the difference between a good day and a bad day can often lie in having the right imitation–Ahrex’s NS156 Traditional Shrimp Hooks are the perfect hook for almost any shrimp pattern you can come up with. Made with an elegant curve, these hooks do a fine job at imitating the body of a shrimp, and for excellent sharpness and hooking power, the NS156 is built with a chemically sharpened point, small barb, and black nickel finish. Made in sizes 4 through 10, you can confidently turn to these hooks whether you’re tying tiny shrimp for bonefish or larger patterns for species like snook and weakfish.

Uses

Ahrex made their NS156 Traditional Shrimp Hooks for tying shrimp patterns of all styles, and while they do an excellent job at that, they’re also a good hook for tying various streamer patterns.

Comparisons

Ahrex’s NS156 Traditional Shrimp Hooks are pretty unique, and while other hooks offer a similar bend for flies like hoppers and stoneflies, there isn’t a whole lot of options for those looking for this style of hook for saltwater flies. For that reason, it’s best to stick with Ahrex’s NS156 Traditional Shrimp Hook whenever you need to tie up some shrimp patterns.
