Partridge Universal Predator X

Partridge CS86X Universal Predator X (10 pcs)

This is the hook that countless fly anglers have trusted for decades while chasing the largest predators of the bays and reed beds. The Partridge CS86X is a true classic that has earned its "Universal Predator" name by being one of the most versatile and reliable hooks on the market.

The CS86X is built to withstand brutal takes. Its reinforced X-Strong wire ensures the hook won't bend out during the fight, even against a trophy pike or a powerful sea trout. The hook's O'Shaughnessy-style design combined with a wide gape ensures excellent hook-ups even when using bulky, dense ties. The straight eye makes it an ideal choice for modern streamers, as it aligns the fly to swim straight without unwanted jerking.

Why Partridge CS86X?

• X-Strong wire – Heavy, sturdy wire withstands even high torque without bending.
• Optimal hook-up – The wide gape and long, sharp point keep the fish pinned during jumps and head shakes.
• Straight Eye – Allows the fly to swim naturally and works excellently as a hook for tube flies and tandem rigs.
• Micro barb – The small barb keeps the fish hooked while making release easier and causing less harm to the fish.

Ideal for:

• The most common pike and zander flies
• Sea trout flies when a heavier-than-normal hook is needed
• As a trailer hook for large combination flies
