How to identify it

The size 1/0 packet carries a paper label. At the top is a stippled arch over a mountain silhouette with the letters FTD in serif capitals, followed by the script wordmark Fly Tyers Dungeon and a tagline in widely spaced capitals P.

The model name and code are printed together as Big Game BH200 in large italic type, with the size on the line below and the web address at the bottom P.

Finish	stated on packaging Show noteHide note Black nickel on carbon steel per the maker's current listing V. The specimen shows a glossy dark finish with silver highlights P; the photograph shows color and gloss only.	SRC-1OBS-6

The shank is straight, with no visible ridges, kinks, or bait-holder cuts P. The point leaves the bend on a straight line angled slightly toward the shank and tapers to a fine, faceted tip with no curve at the end P.

Fly Tyers Dungeon describes the BH200 as slightly offset, with a straight point and a shank slightly longer than the MS100’s V. The direction of the offset is not stated.

A flat side view cannot show an offset, so the supplied photograph neither confirms nor excludes it.

Pattern history and manufacturer context

Series

Fly Tyers Dungeon lists the BH200 in its big game hook line, together with the MS100, ST5500, OS700, CARP, and PK 25 V. One size list covers all of these models, so the sizes made in the BH200 alone are not stated V.

The maker’s page says the hooks in the line are made in China V. The listing is undated, and no dated source for the introduction of the BH200 has been found.

Primary application

Fly Tyers Dungeon describes its big game hook line as made for large predator fish, including musky, pike, bass, gar, peacock bass, dorado, bowfin, and many saltwater species V. The page makes no application statement for the BH200 alone.

Collecting and buying

1 / 10CollectabilityRarity: Common

Rated 1 because the maker lists the BH200 in packs of 25 V. Nothing in the evidence points to scarcity or collector demand, so nothing raises the rating.

Basis: Listed by the maker in packs of 25 V; no scarcity or collector demand is documented.

No sold sales are recorded for this model, so no value range is shown.

Where to find

Fly Tyers Dungeon lists the BH200 on its own website in packs of 25 V. The listing is undated, so current availability is not established.

Inferred — A logical deduction from observable or documented evidence, not directly stated.
Estimated — An approximation based on visual comparison, proportional analysis, or limited data.
Speculative — A reasoned hypothesis that cannot be confirmed from available evidence.

Unmarked claims are the compiler’s synthesis; see Sources. Photographs are taken on a grid of 0.1″ (2.54 mm) squares. Tags such as IMG-1 name the photograph (IMG), label region (LBL), observation (OBS), measurement (MEA), or source (SRC) a statement rests on; CMP marks a classification compared with every measured hook in the catalog.
