Gamakatsu Hump Back Hook 2 Micro Barb

Gamakatsu Hump Back Hook Size 2 Micro Barb — Precision Carp Hook for Fast, Reliable Hooksets

The Gamakatsu Hump Back is a dedicated carp hook engineered for boilie fishing, combining a curved shank profile with a razor-sharp point to deliver fast, self-hooking performance in demanding rigs.

Curved Shank That Turns on the Bite

The distinctive humped, downward-angled shank causes the hook to rotate toward the lower lip the moment a carp picks up the bait. Paired with a very fine, needle-sharp point, this geometry drives penetration quickly and decisively — even on cautious takes.

Flat-Forged Strength for Hard-Fighting Carp

The shank is flat-forged, adding rigidity and bend resistance without unnecessary bulk. The hook handles the sustained pressure of powerful carp runs and kiting without deforming, keeping fish pinned from hookset to net.

Choose the Right Variant

The Hump Back range covers a range of sizes and barb options to match your rig, bait size, and water rules. Variants with a Micro Barb (like this size 2) comply with many fisheries that restrict large barbs while still providing enough hold to avoid hook pulls. Larger barbed options suit waters where standard barbs are permitted.

• Size 2 — Micro Barb (this variant): Medium-large hook ideal for 18–24 mm boilies; suits KD Rig, short-line aligner setups, and waters with micro-barb or barbless requirements

• Size 4 — Barbed: Versatile all-round size for 15–20 mm boilies on KD Rig or inline setups

• Size 6 — Barbed: Compact option for smaller boilies, wafters, or pop-ups on pressured venues

• Size 8 — Small Barb: Fine-wire feel for delicate presentations with 10–14 mm baits or hook baits on light leaders
