Uses
The C1720 Streamer Down Eye Hooks are made for tying streamers and they offer quite a bit of versatility.

Comparisons
Daiichi makes a similar hook with their 2220 4X-Long Streamer Hooks. Just like the C1720 Streamer Down Eye Hooks, these hooks have a long shank and a down eye, making them perfect for most streamer applications. One key difference is that the Daiichi option sizes down to a #1, whereas the C1720 Streamer Down Eye Hooks stops at a #2. Size aside, these two hooks can be used for very similar patterns, however.

"I love these core hooks. The extra length makes the an excellent choice for may types of streamer patterns. I use them for my sculpin flies and mouse patterns. The provide versatility in both of these types of flies. Great for hook riding up for Sculpins and the extra length allows for ease of materials to get all the bulk and silhouette needed to make a very realistic and durable fly. They never fail on the hook set and stay sharp for excellent hook ups."
