XS02-B Hooks Barbless – Barbless Hook

Preston XS02-B Hooks Barbless

The Preston XS02-B is a strong, barbless spade-end hook for situations where robust tackle is required. Previously known as the C-Drome CD-02, this model is designed for heavy hooklengths and larger hook baits when fishing for hard-fighting carp and barbel.

The heavy wire provides extra strength during the fight, while the curved, razor-sharp point hooks quickly and reliably. Thanks to the extra-large spade, thicker nylon line can also be tied on securely. The matte PTFE coating enhances durability and reduces noticeable glare underwater.

Frequently asked questions

What type of fishing is the Preston XS02-B intended for?

This hook excels in commercial carp fishing and other demanding fisheries where a strong, barbless hook and heavier hooklength are required.

What bait is suitable for this hook pattern?

The XS02-B is designed for larger hook baits, such as pellets, sweetcorn, meat, worms and paste. Always match the chosen hook size to the bait and the fish you expect to catch.

Why does this hook have an extra-large spade?

The larger spade gives thicker nylon line more grip and helps prevent the knot from slipping over the spade under heavy pressure.

Is the XS02-B the same hook as the C-Drome CD-02?

Yes. The XS02-B is the current name of the hook pattern previously sold as the C-Drome CD-02.
