MWG Barbless

Guru MWG Barbless – strong all-round barbless eyed hook

The Guru MWG Barbless is a strong eyed hook for a wide range of freshwater fishing techniques. The Match Wide Gape model combines a wide, beaked hook bend with an inturned eye, allowing the hook to turn quickly and achieve a secure hook hold with minimal losses.

The enlarged eye provides ample space for thicker hooklength materials and makes this model suitable for direct knots as well as hair rigs with a knotless knot. This means you can use the MWG with pellets, sweetcorn, meat, wafters and small boilie baits for pole fishing, pellet waggler, bomb and feeder fishing. The barbless design helps you unhook caught fish quickly and carefully.
