Gamakatsu Power Carp Hooks 16 15pcs NS Black

Gamakatsu Power Carp Hooks Size 16 — Reliable Hooksets for Cautious Feeders

The Gamakatsu Power Carp Hooks in size 16 are spade-end carp hooks built for anglers who need a smaller, discreet presentation without sacrificing holding power. Supplied in packs of 15 in NS Black finish.

Spade-End Design for Secure Hair Rigs

Instead of a traditional eye, these hooks feature a flat-forged spade end (Plättchenhaken). This design creates a reliable connection when attaching hair rigs or whipping on a line, helping the hook sit flush and reducing the chance of movement during a run.

Sharp Point and Wide Gape for Confident Hooking

A wide hook gape combined with a sharp point ensures a solid hook-hold once a carp — or incidental species such as tench, bream, or roach — picks up the bait and turns. The barb helps retain fish during the fight without excessive damage.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants in the Power Carp range are spade-end (Plättchenhaken) hooks in NS Black coating, supplied 15 per pack. Match hook size to bait size and target conditions:

• Size 16 — current variant; ideal for small baits such as single maggots, corn kernels, or mini pellets; suits selective, wary carp and mixed-species sessions targeting tench, bream, and roach on light rigs

• Size 14 — small bait fishing with slightly more gape; good all-round size for pellets and small boilies on medium-weight rigs; sharp point noted

• Size 12 — balanced size for 10–12 mm boilies, corn, and tiger nuts; suits general carp fishing in stillwaters and rivers

• Size 10 — larger gape for 14–16 mm boilies and bigger baits; suited to targeting bigger carp where a stronger hook hold is a priority
