FAQ

The Long Shank shape is particularly effective for pop-up rigs and blow-back rigs used with large hookbaits. It also works well across multiple other presentations, especially when combined with a line aligner sleeve or shrink tube.

Yes — the Continental Long Shank is designed to be used as standard or with the addition of a line aligner sleeve or shrink tube, both of which can further improve the hook-turn and overall hook-set performance.

PTFE is an ultra-low-friction coating that helps the hook slide through a carp's mouth quickly and cleanly, improving the speed and reliability of the hook set. It also offers a degree of protection against corrosion.

The 20° in-turned eye angles the hooklink away from the shank, which promotes a more aggressive hook-turn when a carp picks up the bait. This is particularly beneficial on rigs like the blow-back and pop-up where a fast, positive hook set is critical.

Absolutely — the Continental Long Shank has been specifically designed with big and wild continental waters in mind, meaning it is built to handle the demands of hard-fighting fish in challenging conditions.

The hook is made in Japan in cooperation with Maruto Dohitomi, a highly respected name in precision hook manufacturing, ensuring consistent quality and sharpness straight out of the packet.
