Gamakatsu Pro-C Powercarp Hook 16 Barbless Eyed PTFE

Gamakatsu Pro-C Powercarp Hook Size 16 Barbless Eyed PTFE — Reliable Penetration, Fish-Friendly Design

The Gamakatsu Pro-C Powercarp Eyed hook in size 16 is built for the modern carp angler who demands sharp, consistent hook-ups and respects the fish. Made from robust A1 steel with a PTFE coating and a barbless curved point, it delivers fast, deep penetration without compromising fish welfare.

PTFE Coating for Faster, Deeper Hook-Ups

The PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating significantly reduces friction on entry, allowing the curved point to drive home quickly and securely. Whether you're using a hair rig with boilies or a method feeder setup, the coating maintains its effectiveness across repeated casts and retrieves.

Barbless Construction for Ethical Angling

The barbless design makes unhooking fast and clean, minimising handling time and stress on the fish. This makes the hook ideal for fisheries with barbless-only rules and for anglers who prioritise catch-and-release practices. The straight shank and eyed configuration offer versatile rig compatibility without sacrificing holding power during the fight.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same A1 steel construction, PTFE coating, eyed barbless design, and curved point style. Hook size determines the best application for your target fish and bait presentation:

• Size 16 — current variant; ideal for smaller baits such as single maggots, corn, or small pellets; well-suited to pressured fisheries where a discreet presentation is key; effective for mid-size carp and other species on light rigs

• Size 14 — a versatile all-rounder for mini boilies, wafters, and small pop-ups; balances finesse with reliable strength for general carp fishing

• Size 12 — suited to standard boilies (14–16 mm) and particle baits; a solid choice for average-sized carp in most conditions

• Size 10 — preferred for larger baits and bigger fish; provides extra hook gap and holding power for hard-fighting carp or mixed-fishery specimen targeting
