Gamakatsu LS-3430 Hook 2 20pcs Barbless NS Black

Gamakatsu LS-3430 — Size 2, Barbless, NS Black — Reliable Hooking for Carp

The Gamakatsu LS-3430 in size 2 is a purpose-built carp hook combining a stealthy NS Black coating with a barbless inward-turned point — ready for modern rigs and catch-and-release fishing.

Inward-Turned Point for Secure Hook-Ups

The inward-turned (chemically sharpened) point promotes a consistent hook rotation on the take, driving the point home firmly in the carp's mouth. The stout wire maintains its shape under the sustained pressure of hard-fighting carp, so you stay connected through the fight.

NS Black Coating — Subtle and Durable

The NS Black (Non-Sheen Black) finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, keeping the hook inconspicuous in clear or pressured water. The coating also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, extending hook life across multiple sessions.

Choose the Right Variant

The LS-3430 is available in a range of sizes to match your target fish size, bait presentation, and rig style. All variants come in packs of 20 barbless hooks with NS Black coating.

• Size 2 (current) — large profile; ideal for big baits (large boilies 20 mm+), pop-up rigs, and targeting specimen carp

• Size 4 — versatile all-rounder; suits medium boilies and bottom or pop-up presentations

• Size 6 — balanced size for wary fish; works well with 14–18 mm boilies and Chod or Ronnie rigs
