Carp Fishing Hooks

Types of Carp Fishing Hooks Available at CPS Tackle

The effectiveness of your terminal tackle hinges on the hook, and different situations call for different hook types:

• Barbed Hooks – Ideal for stronger holds during long battles with larger carp.

• Barbless Hooks – Hooks without a barb for quick and easy release, minimising harm to the fish. Suitable for fisheries with barbless-only rules.

• Beaked Point Hooks – An inwardly curved point for a solid hook hold, great for snaggy or gravel lakebeds.

• Chod Hooks – Specialised carp hooks designed for chod rigs, featuring an out-turned eye and suitable for presenting baits over weed or debris.

• Curve Shank Hooks – Designed for aggressive turning angles and secure hook holds.

• Long Shank Hooks – Hooks with an extended shank that turn quickly and take hold securely, ideal for bottom bait and blowback rigs.

• Micro Barbed Hooks – Hooks with a smaller barb give you a balance between secure hooking and easier removal that minimises potential damage to the fish.

• Straight Point Hooks – Offering quick penetration, straight point hooks are a versatile option for a wide range of rig setups.

• Wide Gape Hooks – Carp fishing hooks with a wider gap between the shank and point are ideal for bottom bait and balanced presentations.

Key Features to Look For in Carp Hooks

At CPS Tackle, we have a wide range of carp fishing hooks for you to choose from. Want to find the perfect hook to match your chosen rig, bait, and swim? Consider these features:

Sharpness: Chemically sharpened or hand-finished points are a must for quick and clean penetration. Look for hooks that maintain their sharpness even after repeated use. 

Durability: Carp are powerful fish. High-quality carp hooks made from high-carbon steel forged for strength under pressure will resist bending or breaking.

Coating: PTFE and non-reflective dark coatings ensure the hook is corrosion-resistant for improved longevity and enhance stealth by reducing glare (less visible to wary fish).

Hook size: Sizes 2–10 available to match bait size, rig style, and the size of the carp you’re targeting.
