The Black Nickel finish is not obtrusive for carp’s environment, but is also providing strong protection against abrasion, which means that the chemically sharpened needle point lasts definitely longer. The micro barb helps hook setting and speeds up disgorging operation as well. 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.
