Usage guidance
To get the best from these hooks, choose the size that best matches your bait and target fish. When tying to your main line, use a standard rig knot that you’re comfortable with and ensure the hook is aligned correctly with the eye for optimal snag resistance. Bait the hook so the bait sits securely and will not shed with a light pull. Cast gently and allow the rig to settle before striking when you sense a bite. After you’ve finished, handle any fish with care and remove the hook safely using appropriate pliers or forceps. If the hook’s point looks dull after a day on the bank, replace or resharpen as needed to maintain performance. Always store PTFE coated hooks dry and clean to preserve the coating and prevent corrosion over time.
Care and maintenance
After use, rinse the hooks with fresh water to remove any mud, slime, or debris. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry tackle box away from moisture and direct heat. Inspect the PTFE coating and hook point regularly; if you notice wear, replace the hook to maintain reliable bite indication and catch efficiency. Proper storage helps extend the life of the coating and the hook itself, keeping your kit ready for the next session on the bank.
Tips for UK anglers
WithUK rivers, canals, and lakes offering a mix of coarse and specimen fishing, having an assortment of sizes in a PTFE-coated, barbless, spade end hook can be a real advantage. Barbless hooks are particularly helpful for barbless matches and releases, making fish handling quicker and safer at the bank. The LWG design keeps the rig responsive to light takes while maintaining strength for bigger fish when needed. Use the appropriate size for the bait you’re using, whether it’s worm, maggot, caster, or artificial alternatives, and pair these hooks with a rig that suits the water conditions you’re fishing. Keeping a small selection of the ALL SIZES on your tackle tray ensures you’re covered whether you’re fishing fast runs, sluggish bends, or back-to-back sessions at different venues across the UK.
