From Trident Fly Fishing
The Daiichi 1310 is a short shank dry fly hook. There are two reasons why tiers might be convinced to start tying dries on these hooks: The shorter shank creates a wider gape which is advantageous for hooking fish and making sure they stay hooked and it allows for the use of heavier wire in the design of the hook which leads to increased strength and durability when fishing flies tied on this hook. Remember: Think of these hooks as one size smaller than their size says.
