The MFC 7052 features the same wide gap and 3x long shank as the MFC 7050 and the Daiichi 2460 streamer hooks, but with the added bonus of a vertical ring eye. This was previously done on the Daiichi 1850 but the hook gap was never quite large enough on this hook for larger streamers and sizes were limited to #6-#10. With the addition of the vertical ring eye, this hook makes attaching the rear section of your articulated patterns easier than ever before.
