BALANCED CARP FISHING HOOK

TECHNICAL FEATURES

- Strong wire hook with long shank for aggressive, sharp rigs. It is perfectly suited to carp fishing with balanced (snowman) or dense rigs (1 or 2 boilies on a hair).



- Barb

- Straight eye.



Remember! If the point of your hook is damaged or not sharp enough before you cast, don’t hesitate to change it! You will dramatically reduce the chances of losing a fish.

How to choose the shape of your hook?

Choosing the right hook reduces the risk of unhooking. The risk of unhooking is increased with a poor combination of bait/hook and leader.

1. The shape of curved shank hooks makes the rig particularly aggressive when used with floating bait.

2. Hooks with a straight shaft and a sharp tip are used more frequently due to their resistance. Perfect for heavy-duty fishing.

3. Long shank hooks reduce the risk of unhooking with balanced rigs.

The shape of the eye is important

Whether straight, in-turned or out-turned, the eye determines the alignment of the hook with the bait.



1. In-turned eye: increases the aggressiveness of the rig because it lets you create a more extreme angle compared to the leader.

2. Straight eye: Gives you perfect alignment of the hook with the line and bait.

3. Out-turned eye :lets you reduce the angle of the leader. Rigid materials such as fluorocarbon are ideal for these hooks

How to choose the size of your hook?

Hook size depends largely on the size or diameter of the bait.

For example:

15 mm boilie - Hooks n°6 to 8

15 to 18 mm boilies - Hooks N°4 to 6

20 to 22 mm boilies - Hooks N°2 to 4

24 mm boilie and over - Hooks N°1 or 2



If fish are proving elusive, reducing bait and hook size may be a solution to trigger bites.
