Aqua Flies Ultra Rig Kit - Return Eye Shanks - Size 2 Hooks

Aqua Flies

$12.99 

Aqua Flies Ultra Rig Kits come with everything you need to rig your flies that have trailing hooks. Ultra Rig's are the best of both worlds when you're talking about trailing hook wire verses braided loop material. The Ultra Tubing keeps your hook where it should be, but is more flexible than hook wire, and it will keep the hook from fouling up on the fly. With the Ultra Rig, hooks can easily be replaced or repositioned if you dull or damage the hook, or if you find your fly not tracking correctly in the water, a quick turn of the hook can often get the fly to balance just right. Use these return eye shanks anytime you are adding dumbbell eyes to a fly. 

Here is what Aqua Flies has to say about their Ultra Rig Kits...

We have felt for a long time that steelhead flies with trailing loops need another style of rigging. Wire tends to be stiff and can become compromised if hitting rocks. Braids are too flexible and soft, causing the hook to foul on the fly or leader.

The Ultra Rig is a new style of rigging that remains flexible, even in freezing conditions, but is stiff enough to keep the trailing hook in place. This rigging system is super durable — we use 50 pound spider wire threaded through a soft tubing. The hook is fixed in the perfect location in the fly to maximize ideal hook up with excellent flexibility. The Ultra Rig also will allow the angler to position the hook by simply turning the hook in the tubing. The hook can easily be replaced by pushing the tubing up the hook bend enough to release the girth hitch.
