XSP-B Eyed – Barbless Eyed Hook

The Preston XSP-B Eyed is a powerful eyed hook for creating hair rigs when targeting larger fish. The extra-large eye makes it easy to tie a knotless knot and provides ample space for thicker hooklength material.

The inward-curved hook point helps the hook stay securely in place during a powerful fight. A durable PTFE coating reduces friction during penetration and gives the hook a matt, discreet finish. Thanks to the combination of strength, a large eye and a beaked point, this pattern is particularly suitable for modern method, feeder and pellet waggler rigs.

Practical use

Tie the hook using a knotless knot when making a hair rig and determine the hair length according to the bait used. Ensure the hook point remains clear and check before every cast that the point is still sharp. The barbless design makes unhooking quick and fish-friendly.
