The hooks in the GURU selection cover fine controlless solutions and barb models for large fish, so the number alone is not a sufficient guide. The shape of the curve, the profile, the presence of an ear and the bait are looked at, which should remain intact. This is a specific store selection, not a complete review of all the brand series.

barbless with ear GURU QM1 hooks are in the numbers 12, 14, 16 and 18. They are recognized by the highly curved shoulder and the surface is PTFE coated. The ear allows the rig to be tied directly, but the direction of the bow and the free movement of the bait should be checked as soon as the tie is tied.

In QM1, choose the number according to the bait volume and the rig load. A small hook is not automatically less noticeable if it is overworked, and a large one can disrupt the natural supply of small bait. After tightening the knot, stretch the leash and track whether the hook stands without twisting or an irregular angle even before casting.

For soft pellets, corn, meat and worm another practical choice are barbless hooks GURU F1 Pellet Hooks, available in numbers 14, 16 and 18. The thin profile limits the risk of the bait falling or cracking when hanging, and the wide curve leaves the tip working. This distinguishes them from the more highly curved QM1. concept

The section also features barb hooks for large carp, lint and deadwood in difficult places near logs or reeds, as well as non-conternary variants with a relatively short shoulder and wide curve. Under similar conditions, do not copy a number from a finer rig: adjust the hook to the expected load, leader and possibility of fish being brought out controlled.

The sharp tip is crucial in each of these models. Check it after a tease at the bottom and change the hook if it slides along the nail or there is visible deformation; the coating does not compensate for a damaged tip. The most useful order to choose is bait, type of rig, presence or absence of barb, then size. Thus, each characteristic has a clear work by the water.
