Usage guidance
When you’re choosing hooks, start by selecting the size you need from the ALL SIZES range. Thread the line through the hook’s eye and tie your preferred knot to secure it. Because these hooks are barbless, take care during unhooking and handling to ensure a smooth release for the fish and a quick, safe retrieval for you. The PTFE coating is designed to offer smoother action and reduced wear over time, which can be beneficial when you’re switching rigs or fishing in varied conditions.
Care and storage
After a session, rinse the hooks if you’ve been in saltwater or heavily contaminated water, then dry thoroughly before storing. Keep them in a dry, organised container to prevent corrosion or bending. Before your next trip, inspect the eye and point to ensure they’re intact and ready for use. Proper care helps maintain the PTFE coating and keeps the barbless edge effective for quick releases.
Common questions and concerns
What does eyed mean here? It refers to the hook having an eye for attaching the line, which can make rigging straightforward. Will the barbless design affect hook-up rate? Barbless hooks are designed for easier release and handling; check local rules and your chosen rig setup to ensure compatibility. Is PTFE coating worth it? The coating is intended to aid smooth operation and protect against wear, contributing to value over multiple uses. Are these hooks suitable for all species? The ALL SIZES option means you can select a size that matches your target species and rig style; adjust accordingly for best results.

Practical tips for best results
- Start with sizes that match your usual target species; keep spare sizes handy for quick changes.
- When rigging, ensure the line sits cleanly in the eye to avoid twists that can affect casting and snag risk.
- Inspect the hook tip for any burrs or damage after each catch; damaged points can reduce hook-up probability and increase fish stress.

- Use in accordance with local rules and regulations, especially where barbless hooks are required or preferred.
