Ahrex SA250 Shrimp hook

Ahrex SA250 Shrimp hook is carried over from the NS150 Shrimp in the Nordic Salt-series.
We’ve modified the bend slightly and opened the hook gap a little, making the hook very well suited for shrimp flies for bonefish and other species, as well as bend-back designs.

A-Steel Finish*
Available in size 2 – 8.
Chemically sharpened with small barb

Ahrex SA250 Shrimp hook Packaging:
Packs of 12 Hooks, all sizes

*A-Steel is a new and innovative coating.
Ahrex Hooks are the first brand to utilize this coating on fly hooks. A-Steel is 4 times more saltwater resistant than Duratin (the most used coating for saltwater hooks).

The color on A-Steel resembles the color of Stainless Steel. It has very low glare and is less shiny than other coatings, like Duratin.

The A-Steel coating on the Ahrex SA250 Shrimp hook allows us to use High Carbon Steel instead of Stainless Steel, which allows us to have super sharp hook points, which isn’t the case with Stainless Steel.
