The Magic of Black
The reality was that we had a handful of fly patterns that we thought looked pretty when tied on a black hook. The hook had a very thin wire and was barbless so we could not use it for everything, but when we could, we dressed our fly patterns with the sexy black hook. Out of curiosity we looked through the logs and charts again, only to find a trend that we had not previously observed. We were quite surprised how many times in the log books, that the solution to catching very selective trout had included one of the flies that had been tied on the black hook.
And so the experimentation began. We quickly learned that when we used the black hooks, the bodies of our flies took on a different look when wet and we were catching more of the highly selective fish that we were targeting. In general we simply caught more fish. The only trouble was that black hooks were not available in the styles and sizes that we wanted. We first began by painting hooks (which was a failure). Later, we experimented with powder coating our existing hooks, which worked, but proved to be very expensive and inefficient. Out of shear desperation, we decided that in order to get the hooks that we really wanted, we would have to have them specially made. Since that time we have designed many of our trout patterns to incorporate these black hooks from dries, nymphs, emergers, terrestrials, scuds and definitely streamers.
Black hooks have been used for many decades for salmon and steelhead, but oddly enough when it comes to trout hooks, for dry flies, nymphs, wets, caddis and scuds, they have only been available in highly specialized hook models. Never before has the fly tier been able to purchase trout hooks for dry flies, wet flies or curved shank hooks in with appropriate dimensions and wire gages that were black. Every element of the stealth hook, from the color, geometry and quality has been specially designed, tested and modified for over a decade. These hooks have been an integral part of our fly tying benches for years. Now, this amazing hook is FINALLY available to the public!

Stealth Technology
Simplified to Only Three Models
Only the Best Materials
To insure superior strength, we use only the highest quality High Carbon Japanese steel in each of our Stealth fly hooks
Eco Friendly Manufacturing Process
By eliminating anodization, the black Stealth fly hook is not only sharper but a much smarter choice for the environmentally conscious angler.
Cutting Edge Technology
The CAD technology and new computer controlled manufacturing used in the production of Stealth hooks ensures that each stealth fly hook is exactly the same.
