The ST359 BL from the Demmon Competition series brings something different to the jig hook category. Unlike classic jig hooks with a sharper profile, this model features a beautifully rounded, circle-style shape. The geometry allows the hook to behave similarly to a circle hook, offering secure hooking and excellent fish retention during the fight.
Designed with competition anglers in mind, this hook is strong enough for powerful fish while still maintaining balance and efficiency in modern nymphing techniques. The jig-style eye keeps the fly riding hook-point-up, reducing snags and improving presentation close to the bottom.
The round bend combined with the inward-curved barbless point creates a very reliable hooking mechanism. Once the fish is on, the shape helps maintain constant contact and reduces the risk of losing it during sudden head shakes.
