Nymph bodies are usually straight when they are swimming. One may use
some curved hooks for particular functions, but generally straight
hooks with the correct dressing are more successful. Some curved
hooks cause problems with presentation as well, preventing the nymph
from moving properly. Quite a few curved hooks are also very bad
hookers, many curves close the gape, and give the hook a bad angle of
penetration.
