TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Strong iron hook with long shank for aggressive, spicy rigs. Perfect for carp fishing with balanced bait (snowman) but also dense bait (1 or 2 boilies on the hair).
- Presence of a barb
- Straight eye.
Think about it! If the point of your hook is damaged or less prickly before you cast your rod, change it without hesitation! You'll greatly reduce the risk of losing a fish.
How to choose the right hook shape?
Choosing the right hook will limit the risk of stalling. This risk can be accentuated by the wrong combination of bait/hook and leader.
1. Curved shank hooks have a shape that makes the rig aggressive when used with floating baits.
2. Straight shank hooks with a re-entrant point are the most widely used for their strength. Perfect for strong fishing.
3. Long shank hooks limit the risk of stalling with balanced rigs.
The shape of the eyelet is important
Whether straight, retracted or outer, the eyelet determines the alignment of the hook with the bait.
1. The retracted eyelet: increases the aggressiveness of the rig, as it creates an extreme angle with the leader.
2. The straight eyelet: ensures perfect alignment of the hook with the line and bait.
3. Outgoing eyelet: limits the angle of the leader. Rigid materials such as fluorocarbon are ideal for these hooks.
How to choose the right hook size?
The size of the hook depends mainly on the size or diameter of the bait.
For example:
Bouillette 15 mm - Hameçon n°6 à 8
Bouillette de 15 à 18 mm - Hameçon N°4 à 6
Bouillette de 20 à 22 mm - Hameçon N°2 à 4
Bouillette de 24 mm et plus - Hameçon N°1 ou 2
If fish are difficult, reducing the size of baits and hooks can be a solution to trigger starts.
