Montana Fly Company 7045 Heavy Wire Scud Hook (25PK)

Montana Fly Company 7045 Heavy Wire Scud Hooks are a durable, curved-shank hook designed for tying scuds, sowbugs, shrimp, caddis pupae, midge pupae, and a wide variety of emerger and nymph patterns. Built with a heavy wire construction and a wide gap, the 7045 provides the strength needed to fish heavily weighted flies while delivering reliable hook penetration and fish-holding power.

The curved shank naturally complements patterns that imitate aquatic invertebrates, creating realistic silhouettes that match the shape of scuds, freshwater shrimp, and emerging insects. Pair it with tungsten beads, wire wraps, or lead-free weighting to build flies that sink quickly and stay in the strike zone, or tie unweighted patterns for shallow water and slow-moving currents.

At Big Sky Anglers, the MFC 7045 is a dependable choice for tying everything from simple scuds and sowbugs to RS2-style emergers, caddis pupae, and midge patterns. Its versatile shape and heavy-duty construction make it a staple hook for anglers who spend time fishing subsurface flies throughout the season.
