The KL is a recurve or circle hook. Originally conceived as a cross between a “Longline” hook and a wide gap or kahle hook. It has a straight eye and an offset point
Designed to “self hook” and ensure most fish are hooked in the corner of the mouth. Do not strike. Leave the drag on and the fish will hook themselves. The KL hook will roll into the corner of the mouth with very few gut hooks
Made of medium gauge high carbon steel wire making a strong hook with a solid hook-up rate
Manufactured in Japan with a precision crafted and super sharp, chemically sharpened point
Black lacquer coating means it’s hard for fish to spot. This coating also allows the hook to rust away quickly if left in a fish’s mouth. To help avoid corrosion, wash the hook after use, dry and spray with a protective coating. (e.g. Inox, CRC, WD40 etc.) Store separately from unused hooks
