Benefits and strengths

One of the main strengths of the NASH Claw carp hook is its ability to set quickly and securely, even with wary fish. Its ultra-sharp point combined with a carefully designed profile promotes immediate penetration at the slightest bait movement. The result is a higher hookup rate and a notable reduction in unhooks, even during prolonged fights with large specimens.

The specific CARBIDE 617 carbon steel alloy yields a hook highly resistant to deformation while remaining relatively light. This lightness reduces weight impact on the rig, which can help deceive the most educated carp. The angler thus benefits from a technical, reliable hook, suitable for both short sessions and long campaigns on heavily fished waters.

Usage tips

To get the most from the NASH Claw, choose the hook size according to the bait type and desired bait profile, staying consistent with fishing pressure and the average size of the fish present. This model integrates perfectly with most modern carp rigs such as hair rigs, D-rigs or combined rigs, whether used with dense, balanced or pop-up baits.

Before each cast, always check the hook point by gently running it across a fingernail or a smooth surface: if it catches immediately, the sharpness is optimal. If the point becomes blunt or suffers an impact on an obstacle, replace the hook to maintain peak performance. Store your hooks in a dedicated box, protected from moisture and shocks, to preserve their sharpness and strength over time.
