Based originally on our popular XS Spade, which has become a lethal big-fish hook for straight hooking baits! Adding this eyed version in both barbed and barbless to the family has created a super strong wide-gape pattern, that is perfect for hair-rigging or banding baits on commercial (barbless) and natural (barbed) venues for big fish! PTFE Coated for ultimate strength, sharpness and durability. The extra wide-gape means you get the ultimate hook hold, while the long point makes it very difficult for fish to avoid getting hooked when hair-rigging or banding. The ultimate eyed specimen pattern, with sizes from an 8 to 20 covering all situations. Whether its hair rigging a chunk of meat for barbel, banding a 6mm pellet for chub, or for general hair-rigging commercial needs with big fish in mind, this pattern has it covered!
