The progressively curved, medium to long shank and 20 degrees down turned eye maximises strength, and the 8723 has a legendary reputation for turning, setting and staying in. In our opinion they are the best for strength, sharpness and durability. 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.
