Originally designed as a solution for the "quick take" strikes of Japanese native trout, the Yamame. TMC 102Y has a lighter wire than TMC 100 and wider hook gap. If we compare strength 102Y is weaker than 100 but strong enough for most fishing situations. The features of 102Y let us tie more sparse dressed dry flies for more demanding fishing situations. The shape of this hook is really beautyful and we love it for midges and many types of mayflies. For midges the length of shank is perfect
