Red Roach Micro Barbed Size 18

Drennan Red Roach Micro Barbed

The Drennan Red Roach Micro Barbed is a refined spade-end hook for targeted fishing for roach and other small silverfish. The red finish blends in well with small red hook baits, while the fine wire ensures a light, natural presentation.

The long shank makes it easier to bait up accurately with small baits and to unhook fish after a catch. Thanks to the micro barb, delicate bait stays in place more effectively. The chemically etched point provides the sharpness needed to convert cautious bites effectively when pole fishing or using a waggler.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose the Drennan Red Roach?
Choose this model when a light, subtle presentation is important, for example when targeting wary roach with small live bait on the pole or waggler.

Why does this hook have a red finish?
The red colour is less noticeable alongside red hook baits such as bloodworm or red pinkies. This helps present the hook and bait visually as one compact offering.

How do I tie a spade-end hook correctly?
Use a neat spade-end knot, with the line exiting on the inside of the hook shank. Before fishing, check that the turns lie evenly and that the knot cannot slip over the spade end.
