Pallatrax GripZ Curve Shank Hook
After extensive research into the limitations of both barbed and barbless hooks, it became clear that there was a need for development. As a result, this radical design was born, which transcends the boundaries between traditional hooks and new technology.
Made from premium quality Japanese steel, the key innovation is the small, horizontal notches located on the inside of the hook point, where the barb used to be. These notches allow the hook to hold securely in the fish's mouth under load, as the tissue gets pressed into the grooves, ensuring a strong hold without coming loose. Once the load is released, the hook returns to its barbless form, making it easy and safe to remove. A simple yet extremely effective solution.
No one can deny that this is a serious and genuine advancement in the field of hooks, which can revolutionize fishing and provide benefits for anglers, fish, and waters alike. The unique advantages of the GRIPZ hooks are easily noticeable, especially in reducing hook slippage, minimizing fish loss associated with barbless hooks, and eliminating injuries caused by hook removal and issues related to barbed rig setups.
The Curve Shank hook shape is available in sizes 4, 6, and 8, primarily designed for carp fishing.
