1X-long hooks are about one eye length longer than standard shank length. They are used for slightly longer wet flies, which give them a truer to nature dimension, considering that wet flies represent mayflies, which are long bodied insects. They are also a reasonable length for mayfly nymph imitations or wet flies featuring a bead head.
