Tiemco Hooks 7999 Salom/Steelhead upturned eye #10 pack

The TMC7999 is a classic single salmon/steelhead hook for traditional hair-wings and streamy wets—built strong with an up-eye for snelling or loop knots. Great for Atlantic salmon hair-wings on rivers like the Tay/Tweed, and steelhead patterns in North America. Core Specifications Style: Salmon/steelhead single Eye: Up-eye (snell-friendly; good swing angle) Wire: Heavy/forged (holds shape on powerful fish) Shank: Standard length, gently tapered Finish: Typically black (low-glare) Barb: Standard (pinches down cleanly) Where To Use The TMC7999 Traditional hair-wings & swingers: Ally’s Shrimp, Cascade (single), Stoat’s Tail, Black Bear/Green Butt, Green Butt Skunk. Classic salmon/steelhead wets: Silver Doctor-style singles, low-water dressings. Cold/high water or big fish: the heavy wire resists opening and adds a little “keel”. Rigging & Tying Notes Knots: Up-eye works beautifully with a snell or non-slip loop to keep a clean swing. Dressings: Keep wings proportionate so you don’t crowd the gape; the 7999’s standard shank fits most classic patterns. Regulations: Some beats specify singles/barbless—crimp barbs neatly if required. Close Alternatives TMC 7999 vs 7989/7998 (other salmon models): choose by wire/finish preference and local availability. Need a lighter wire or different eye? Look at low-water/spey singles with straighter eyes. Tube flies: Use a short, strong tube hook or stout octopus-style single instead of a 7999. Bottom line: If you want a strong, up-eye single for traditional salmon/steelhead hair-wings and wets, the TMC 7999 is a reliable, time-tested choice.
