Hayabusa K-1 Carp Barbless NRB

The K-1 without the barb. Same boilie hook, same Aero Point — a reduced point diameter that enters hard tissue easily and stays strong — and the same non-reflective black coating.

Barbless is not only a rules thing, though plenty of waters insist on it: a barbless point goes in further for the same pull, which is most of why it holds at all. Keep the line tight and it stays put. Made in Japan.
