NASH Twister Long Shank Hook

Product benefits

Designed for demanding carp anglers, the NASH Twister Long Shank Hook stands out as a reference for those seeking reliability and performance. Part of the renowned Nash Pinpoint range, it features a carefully designed profile and an extremely aggressive point that optimize hooking rate, even on particularly wary and heavily fished carp.

Manufactured from a next-generation alloy, the carbon steel CARBIDE 617, this model delivers up to 50% greater strength than previous models from the brand while being lighter. This unique combination preserves outstanding sharpness over time, reduces hook openings under high tension and secures fights with large fish.

The NASH Twister Long Shank is designed to integrate easily into most modern carp rigs. Its long shank profile promotes rapid rotation in the fish’s mouth and improves penetration, which significantly reduces lost hook-ups. Whether fishing in lakes, slow-flowing rivers or heavily pressured spots, this hook offers a reliable and high-performing solution.

Advantages and key strengths

The main strength of the NASH Twister Long Shank lies in its ability to convert the maximum number of takes into fish actually landed in the net. Thanks to the combination of the long shank profile and the particularly aggressive point, the hook positions itself very quickly during bait intake, which greatly improves hook-ups. The result is fewer missed takes and a higher percentage of captured fish.

The Pinpoint technology, combined with the CARBIDE 617 alloy, guarantees long-lasting sharpness even after multiple fish or repeated contact with obstacles. For the angler this means fewer hook changes, greater confidence in their rig and better stealth thanks to a consistently optimal presentation. Increased robustness also reduces the risk of hook opening during hard fights.

Beyond its mechanical qualities, the Twister Long Shank stands out for its versatility. It is suitable for simple setups as well as more technical approaches, whether fishing on the bank, at long range or on pinpoint spots. This versatility makes it an ideal choice to form the base of reliable carp fishing tackle capable of handling most situations encountered at the water’s edge.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the NASH Twister Long Shank Hook, adapt the hook size to the type of bait used and the size of the target fish. Choose a size consistent with your baits to maintain a natural presentation and optimize catches. Don’t hesitate to test different modern rigs to fully exploit the long shank profile and rapid rotation of the hook.

Before each session, systematically check the point sharpness by lightly placing it on your thumbnail: if it catches immediately, the hook is ready to fish. If the point has contacted stones or obstacles repeatedly, check the point and replace the hook if necessary to maintain perfect penetration. Store your rigs in a suitable box to protect the point and prevent damage during transport.

Finally, use leaders and hooklinks matched to the strength of the hook to fully benefit from its solidity. A coherent setup will allow you to fight powerful fish with confidence and enjoy the performance offered by Nash Pinpoint technology.
