Partridge Universal Predator X Red

Partridge CS86X Universal Predator X (10pcs)

This is the hook that countless fly anglers have trusted for decades when chasing the biggest predators in bays and weed 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 handle brutal takes. Its reinforced wire (X-Strong) ensures the hook won't straighten during the fight, even against trophy pike or powerful sea trout. The O'Shaughnessy-style design combined with a wide gape ensures excellent hook-ups even with bulky, bushy dressings. The straight eye makes it the ideal choice for modern streamers, aligning the fly to swim true without unwanted kicking.

Why Partridge CS86X?

• X-Strong wire – Heavy, rigid wire withstands high torque forces without straightening.

• Optimal hook-up – Wide gape and a long, sharp point ensure the fish stays pinned through jumps and head shakes.

• Straight Eye – Enables natural fly swim and works excellently as a hook for tube flies and tandem rigs.

• Micro-barb – A small barb holds the fish securely but makes releasing easier and causes less damage to the fish.

Ideal for:

• Most common pike and zander flies

• Sea trout flies when a heavier-than-normal hook is needed

• Trailer hook for large articulated flies
