The 8354 is the hook to use if you are looking for an edge when using subtle rigs, in particular with short hooklinks, and short hair-rig presentations. The extra wide gape, short shank, with a straight eye and in turned point pattern sets the hook every time. In our opinion they are the best for their balanced strength, sharpness and durability. Compared to former series, this new one has dropped size 1/0. TF PROCESS - MICRO BARB - PTFE COATED The PTFE treatment provides three advantages. The surface is very slick, so that everything is built on the shank slides well; the point is protected from abrasion, thus it lasts longer; the hook is mimetic, because it doesn’t cast any glare in the water. NON REFLECTIVE SYSTEM The anti-glare surface treatment guarantees the maximum camouflage and offers additional protection to the hook, preserving the integrity of the point for a longer time. CHEMICALLY SHARPENED POINT Reinforced and chemically sharpened point last longer and have a better penetration, dramatically decreasing the chances to unhook the carp. FULL CLOSED EYE K-Karp hooks are subjected to a special process insuring the hook eye is perfectly closed, for maximum security and reliability of your rigs.
