Partridge N, Size 1 (1 Hook)
Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) | Quantity: 1 Hook | Made in: Redditch, England
The Golden Age of British Steel
Step back into the golden era of fly tying with these genuine, vintage Partridge of Redditch hooks. Housed in the iconic "Orange Label" packaging, these hooks were manufactured in the historic Redditch factory using high-carbon Sheffield steel—long before production moved overseas. For the traditional salmon tyer, these aren't just hooks; they are a piece of angling history.
The "Low Water" Advantage
The Code N is the definitive Low Water iron. Designed for summer Atlantic Salmon and Steelhead fishing, this model features a longer shank paired with a "mediumweight" wire.
This specific design allows you to dress a fly sparsely (mimicking a smaller insect or shrimp) while maintaining the wide gape of a large hook. The result is a fly that swims elegantly in thin, clear water without spooking fish, yet retains the structural integrity to land a trophy.
Perfect For:
- Classic Atlantic Salmon Flies: Blue Charms, Silver Wilkinsons, and sparse hairwings.
- Summer Steelhead Patterns: Traditional wet flies where a slender profile is key.
- Display Framing: The black japanned finish and graceful modified Limerick bend make these stunning for artistic plates.
