Guru has designed a new hook for situations where a barb is required. This new Kuranku hook is barbless and has a unique crank-like shape. The hook has a relatively thin wire, but it retains its strength due to the durable black nickel material. Due to the thinness of the wire the hook is also lightweight, which is essential when fishing for bream and other coarse fish. The wide hook bend and the inward hook point provide a perfect grip in the mouth of the fish. This razor-sharp hook is ideal for fishing with a variety of baits such as maggots, casters, bloodworms and red worms.
