The Daiichi 1167 hook is a top choice for tying Klinkhammer-style flies and other effective emerger patterns. Originally developed to match Hans van Klinken’s famous Klinkhammer from the early 1980s—designed to mimic emerging caddisflies—this hook has become a go-to for anglers targeting trout feeding just below the surface.

Crafted with a curved shank, wide gap, straight eye, and slightly heavier wire, the Daiichi 1167 allows your fly to sit perfectly in the surface film for realistic presentation. Finished in sleek black nickel, this hook is available in sizes 8 through 20, making it ideal for a wide range of patterns including mayfly and caddis emergers, midges, larvae, and even scuds or sowbugs.

Whether you’re tying the classic Klinkhammer or experimenting with your own emerger designs, the Daiichi 1167 Klinkhammer Hook offers reliable performance and versatility for serious fly tiers.
