Korum - Grappler Hooks - 12 - Barbed

This is a barbed hook. Please verify your local fishery rules, as many commercial venues require barbless hooks.

Yes, the out-turned eye is designed to accommodate both monofilament and braided hooklinks effectively.

A quick test is to gently drag the point across your thumbnail; if it slides without digging in, the point is blunted and should be replaced.

The PTFE coating reduces friction to allow the hook to penetrate the fish's mouth with less resistance and provides a matte finish to reduce visibility.

The out-turned eye helps the hook sit at an optimal angle when tied to a hooklink, improving the hooking efficiency of the curved-shank design.

Ensure you are using the correct line diameter; verify that the hook is not being levered against large submerged rocks or debris.

Check the hook point for blunting after contact with hard terrain; if damaged, replace the hook immediately.

Ensure you are using a consistent hook aligner or shrink tubing to keep the hook secure in the preferred orientation during flight.
