Swing Hook

OPST Swing Hooks – Barbless by Design. Built to Hold.

Engineered for Hookups. Designed for the Fight. Made for the Fish.

OPST Swing Hooks are not your average fly fishing hooks. These barbless, short-shanked, fly-specific swing hooks are purpose-built for use with shanks, tubes, and string leeches — optimized to increase hookup ratios while reducing stress on fish and anglers alike.

With their offset point, slightly upturned eye, and circle hook-like geometry, OPST Swing Hooks are quick to penetrate, slow to let go, and designed to hold in the corner of the mouth — exactly where you want your hook when the big one eats.

Key Features

Barbless & Fish-Friendly
Every OPST Swing Hook is barbless out of the box, ensuring cleaner hooksets, less damage, and easier releases — for both fish and anglers.

Upturned Eye for Optimal Line Pull
The slight eye angle improves hook orientation, aligns your connection for maximum pulling power, and integrates seamlessly with shank, tube, or string leech rigs.

Offset Point = More Hookups
The angled point exposes more surface area for contact, increasing penetration and reducing the number of lost fish.

Round Bend for Strength and Retention
Classic shape, modern benefits. The round bend offers superior strength, hooking leverage, and holding power through the fight.

Short Shank, Upturned Point
Similar to a circle hook profile, OPST Swing Hooks are more likely to hook fish in the corner of the mouth, which improves hookup rates and release success.

Ideal For:

Steelhead, trout, salmon, and other strong-running species

Use with OPST shanks, tube flies, or articulated string leeches

Anglers focused on hook efficiency, durability, and low-impact fishing

Conservation-minded fly anglers who won’t sacrifice performance

Make Every Hookset Count

When the take finally comes, don’t leave it to chance. OPST Swing Hooks are built to penetrate quickly, hook deeper, and hold longer, all while putting less harm on the fish. From backcountry trout to coastal steelhead, this is the hook you want at the business end of your rig.
