Frequently asked questions

When should I choose the Preston XFS-B?

Choose this model when a light rig and fine bait presentation are important, for example when fishing for wary silverfish, in cold water or during periods when fish are feeding cautiously.

What bait types is this hook suitable for?

The fine wire makes this hook highly suitable for maggots, pinkies, casters and small pellets. This allows the bait to move as naturally as possible.

Does the XFS-B have an eye or a spade end?

This hook has a spade end. It is tied directly to the hooklength material using a suitable spade-end knot.

Is this hook suitable for large carp?

The XFS-B is primarily developed for smaller silverfish and F1 carp with a light setup. For heavy carp fishing or swims with many obstacles, a stronger hook pattern with heavier wire is a better choice.
