Guru’s PTFE Coated Super MWG Eyed (Barbed) hooks are built for serious UK anglers who want a reliable, easy-to-use hook that stays true under pressure.

What makes this hook stand out
The Guru PTFE Coated Super MWG Eyed (Barbed) hook is designed to be a dependable option when you need a straightforward, effective rig component. The PTFE coating not only gives a clean, smooth finish but also helps the hook resist wear from repeated use and exposure to the elements. The eye makes threading and knot-tying simple, which is especially handy when you’re bassing up a fast, cold session by the coast or securing bait on rivers. The barbed point adds an extra bite when it matters most—on the take—helping to reduce the chances of a missed strike.
Usage instructions
These steps are intended to help UK anglers get the most from the Guru PTFE Coated Super MWG Eyed (Barbed) hooks. If you’re new to eyed, barbed hooks, start with a simple knot and test your setup in safe water before heading out for the main session.
-
Choose the right size for your bait. With all sizes available, select a hook size that matches your bait length and weight for a balanced presentation.
-
Thread the line through the hook’s eye. Use a standard knot you’re comfortable with (e.g., Palomar or Uni knot) and pull tight to secure the line.
-
Attach your bait to the barb to ensure the bait stays put when casting and on the strike. Keep the bait secure but not overly tight to avoid tearing.
-
Check the alignment of the hook so the point sits cleanly into the bait’s underside for a natural look and a solid hook set.
-
Cast and fish as you normally would. The PTFE coating helps the hook slide through water and line with less resistance, which can aid penetration on the take.
-
After use rinse the hooks with fresh water if used in saltwater, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry tackle box to preserve the coating.
Common questions and quick answers
Q: Will these hooks fit all my lines? A: They’re designed to be compatible with standard lines used by UK anglers. If you’re using unusually thick or thin line, select a size that matches the rig and bait. Q: How durable is the PTFE coating? A: The coating is applied to improve smoothness and wear resistance, which helps in typical UK fishing conditions, but always inspect hooks for wear and replace if the coating begins to chip or wear unevenly. Q: Are barbed hooks legal in all venues? A: Legal rules vary by location, so check local regulations before use. It’s good practice to understand venue rules about barbed hooks on your session.
Care and maintenance
To extend the life of your hooks, rinse after use in saltwater or gritty waters, dry completely, and store in a dry place. Inspect hooks for nicks or damaged coatings before use. If the PTFE coating appears damaged, replace the hook to maintain performance and reduce the risk of fish damage.
