The Black Magic "G Series" hook is a specialised heavy-wire fly hook designed primarily for tying curved-body subsurface patterns. Often referred to as a "Grub" or "Shrimp" hook, it features a continuous bend that perfectly mimics the natural posture of caddis pupae, scuds, shrimps, and bloodworms.

Unlike standard wire dry fly hooks, the G Series is built from heavy-gauge high carbon steel. This extra strength makes it an excellent choice for targeting large trout in New Zealand's rivers where fish often hold deep and fight hard, requiring a hook that won't straighten out under pressure.

Key Features

• Continuous Bend (Grub Shape): The shank has a continuous curve rather than a straight section, which is critical for creating realistic silhouettes of larvae, pupae, and emerging insects.
• Heavy Wire Construction: Built to withstand the power of large trophy trout and prevent opening up during a fight in heavy current.
• Chemically Sharpened: Features a chemically sharpened needle point for instant penetration with minimal hook setting force required.
• Micro Barb: Equipped with a small barb that ensures a positive hold but allows for easier unhooking and less damage to the fish compared to large traditional barbs.
• Neutral Finish: The hooks typically feature a bronze or brownish coating that blends well with most dubbing and natural fly materials.
