NASH Flota Claw Hook

Product highlights

The NASH Flota Claw is a carp hook specially developed for surface fishing and zig fishing. It meets the demands of carp anglers seeking an impeccable presentation of their floating or balanced baits, where fish are most wary. Thanks to its studied design, it fully benefits modern surface and mid-water rigs.

Born from NASH’s carp expertise, this model features a wide gape that facilitates hook intake by the fish and improves hooking, even on delicate takes. Its extremely sharp point ensures fast and secure penetration, making it a reliable ally to turn tentative contacts into solid runs.

The Flota Claw is engineered to work perfectly with small-diameter floating baits, wafters and pop-ups. This compatibility makes it particularly suited to fine, technical fishing where discretion and a natural presentation are paramount.

Advantages and key strengths

One of the main strengths of the NASH Flota Claw is its ability to provide a natural presentation of floating baits. On the surface or suspended in the water column, the hook positions itself so the bait behaves freely, minimising suspicion in carp. This approach is essential when fish have already seen many conventional rigs.

Its wide-gape profile greatly improves hookup quality. When the carp sucks in the bait, the hook quickly seats in the mouth and finds a solid anchor point. Combined with a very sharp point, this results in a high hook-up rate, even when takes are visual and quick during surface fishing.

The Flota Claw’s considered shape makes it a relevant choice for zig rigs. Placed at different heights in the water column, the hook presents a small bait exactly where the fish are feeding. This adaptability is a major advantage on deep waters or when carp hold mid-column during warm periods.

In summary, this hook stands out for its technicality, versatility and reliability. It suits both experienced anglers refining their fine approaches and progressing carp anglers wishing to improve their surface and zig fishing results.

Usage advice

To get the most from the NASH Flota Claw, pair it with small-diameter floating or balanced baits—floating pellets, buoyant boilies or pop-ups. The goal is to keep a perfectly balanced setup where the hook remains discreet and does not disturb the bait’s natural behaviour.

For surface fishing, prefer relatively fine and supple hooklinks to maximise discretion. The hook should be tied neatly using a reliable knotless knot to ensure optimal alignment. On zig rigs, adjust the hooklink length to the depth where the fish are holding and test several heights until you find the right layer of water.

Regularly check the hook point: if it appears blunt after contact with an obstacle or a fish, replace the hook to maintain flawless penetration. A perfectly sharp hook point is critical for successful technical sessions.
