Gamakatsu basically asked serious Tarpon anglers what they wanted in a hook. The SC17 is the result. This new series is specifically designed for big fish in situations where a small hook is necessary.

Available in sizes 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0, the design allows angler to present a smaller profile fly, but still have the strength needed to hang on to a very large angry Tarpon. The SC17 features a short, stout shank with an eye turned up ever so slightly to put the direction of pull in line with its’ sticky sharp beak point.

The SC17 also has a very wide gap to help hold the fish once the battle begins. It makes a good tube fly trailer as well. The finish is a corrosion resistant NS Black.

NOTE: The SC17 3/0 has the same gap (shank to point -15mm) as a TMC 600SP 1/0, with a shorter shank and heavyer wire.

Hook length 1/0  25mm hook gap (shank to point) 13mm
Hook length 2/0  26mm hook gap (shank to point) 14mm
Hook length 3/0  29mm hook gap (shank to point) 15mm
