Size #8 is slightly smaller and works well for medium to moderately heavy rigs with baits up to 20mm. Size #10 offers a larger gape and stronger wire gauge, ideal for heavy rigs and baits exceeding 20mm. Choose #8 for balanced presentations and #10 for maximum strength on demanding venues.
The PTFE coating is a thin, transparent layer that does not visibly alter the hook's appearance but dramatically improves penetration and reduces friction. It creates a slicker surface that allows the point to pierce fish mouths more easily compared to untreated or black-lacquered hooks.
The Preston XS02-B is specifically designed as a spade-end hook for conventional rigs (feeder, groundbait, bolt rig, hair rig). It is not suitable for fly-tying, drop-shot, or inline methods. For those techniques, choose hooks specifically designed with eyed or looped ends.
The XS02-B excels when targeting carp, barbel, catfish, tench, and bream in freshwater. The oversized spade, heavy wire, and PTFE coating make them ideal for bottom-feeding presentations and specimen angling in challenging conditions. They perform best with thick monofilament and large baits (15mm+).
Preston XS02-B hooks are barbed. The single barb sits on the outside of the point and assists in retaining fish once hooked. If you prefer barbless fishing (for catch-and-release or regulation compliance), consider crushing the barb gently with pliers before use.

These PTFE-coated spade hooks deliver reliability when targeting powerful freshwater species. With a heavily reinforced wire, oversized spade eye, and beaked point, they're built for confident presentations of thick baits.
The large spade end grips thick monofilament and braid securely, eliminating worries about slippage on demanding rigs. The inward-curved point and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating ensure smooth penetration even when baits or conditions demand a thicker diameter. Heavy-gauge wire means the hook retains its shape under the demands of fighting sizeable carp, barbel, and coarse species in deep, snaggy water.
Available in Size #8 and Size #10, the XS02-B range spans presentations from medium to heavy rigs. Each hook comes in a box of 10, ready to tie or attach to your preferred rig system. The PTFE finish minimizes friction, allowing quicker hooksets and more reliable penetration than traditional black-lacquered alternatives.
These hooks excel in bottom-fed presentations (feeder and groundbait techniques) where robust construction and positive hold prevent hook pulls. Anglers targeting specimen carp, catfish, and strong barbel on rivers trust the XS02-B for its no-nonsense strength and sharp, durable point.
