Hayabusa L-1 Carp Barbless NRB

The L-1 in barbless. The same fine-wire, minimum-weight hook for pop-ups and surface baits, with the same long sharp point, and no barb to sit proud of the wire.

Fine wire and barbless together means it pins on very little pressure, which is exactly what you want under a buoyant bait — but it also means keeping a tight line and a soft hand. Not a hook for snags. Non-reflective black, made in Japan.
