GRIPZ EAGLE WAVE HOOKS, Barbless Predator Hooks by Pallatrax

A totally new hook design, not just a new pattern.

• A patented new hook design with unique grooves that give a firm hook hold under pressure.
• A super-strong and stay-sharp hook for large specimen hunters.
• Eagle Wave pattern is a proven predator hook especially for catfish.
• Can also be used in other predator tactics e.g. pike.
• Sea anglers are using for catch and release.
• Curved shank, long arrow-shaped hook point, wide gape and large out-turned eye.
• Perfect for mounting bulky catfish baits.
• Hooks sizes 1, 1/0 and 2/0.
• Easily and safely removed when pressure released.
• The arrow-shaped ‘cutting point’ is incredibly sharp and will stay sharp through multiple captures.
• Chemically sharpened and dull finish.
• Internationally award-winning for fish and fishery safety.
• More fish-friendly than barbed hooks e.g. no more trailed rigs or tethering in the event of a line break.
• Far superior hook hold compared to barbless e.g. no hook slippage, movement or tearing during the fight.
• 
• Made from superior grade Japanese wire, the major innovation is the introduction of a series of minute horizontal grooves on the inside of the specially designed arrow-shaped ‘cutting’ hook point. These grooves provide a secure hold in the fish’s mouth when pressure is applied.  As soon as the pressure is removed the hook returns to a barbless format allowing for easy and safe removal.For years we have only had the two design options of barbed and barbless hooks, but now we have a genuine third alternative which we know will give the user huge advantages over these historic designs. Like all Pallatrax products they have been especially designed for their true environmental benefits alongside angler satisfaction.
