Designed for anglers who prioritise ethical fishing, these #4 Non Barbed Hooks provide a reliable solution for catch and release. The absence of a barb reduces fish injury, ensuring a smooth release while maintaining a secure hookset. Made from high carbon stainless steel, these hooks offer excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both fresh and saltwater fishing.
The long shank design allows for better hook penetration and secure bait attachment. This feature ensures a strong hold, making these hooks highly effective when fishing for species requiring precision. Whether fishing in lakes, rivers, or coastal waters, they maintain their sharpness and durability under pressure.
These non barbed hooks work well with different fishing techniques, including float, ledger, and lure fishing. Their high-carbon construction withstands tension, ensuring they perform well when targeting species such as trout, snapper, and kahawai. The smooth design also makes de-hooking easier, reducing stress on the fish.
Non barbed hooks are widely used in New Zealand’s lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, particularly in conservation-focused fisheries. Catch-and-release areas such as the Tongariro River encourage their use to protect trout populations. By minimising injury, these hooks increase survival rates, allowing fish to be safely returned to the water.
For saltwater anglers, these hooks are beneficial when targeting species like kahawai, where quick release reduces handling time and stress. In areas like the Hauraki Gulf, using non barbed hooks helps maintain sustainable fish stocks. They are also effective when fishing for snapper, as they make it easier to release undersized fish without causing damage.
These hooks are an excellent replacement for treble hooks on lures when fishing for trout. Many anglers swap treble hooks for single non barbed hooks to comply with regulations in certain waterways and reduce fish injury. The long shank design ensures secure attachment while maintaining a strong hookset.
Whether fishing in freshwater or saltwater, #4 Non Barbed Hooks provide a responsible and efficient solution for ethical angling in New Zealand.
