Product Information
Full details
The Guru F1 Eyed Hooks are designed for anglers who prioritize precision and delicacy while pole fishing, specifically when hair-rigging baits. These hooks provide an optimal hook-set angle thanks to their unique out-turned eye and PTFE coating, offering a reliable, high-strength solution for catching F1s and bonus specimens alike. While their specialized design excels in pole rigs, users should note that they are strictly barbless and best suited for specific hair-rigging bait applications rather than direct hooking of delicate live baits.

FAQs
Can I use these hooks for river fishing?
While designed for pole fishing, their strength makes them suitable for light feeder work on slow-moving rivers, provided they are hair-rigged.
Are these hooks available in different sizes?
Yes, they are available in multiple sizes including 14, 16, 18, and 20 to suit different bait sizes and target species.
Do I need to sharpen the points before use?
No, the hooks come out of the package with a super sharp, factory-finished point that is ready for immediate use.
What is the primary benefit of the PTFE coating?
The coating reduces friction, allowing the hook to penetrate the fish's mouth more easily and providing extra protection against corrosion.
Are these hooks legal for commercial fisheries?
Yes, their barbless design makes them a preferred choice for most commercial fisheries that have strict hook regulations.
Troubleshooting
Hook pulls out during the fight
Ensure your pole elastic is correctly tensioned and that you are not striking too aggressively with light tackle.
Bait sits incorrectly on the hair
Check your Knotless Knot length; if the hair is too long, the bait may move away from the hook point, reducing hooking efficiency.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent hook-up ratio due to the super sharp, straight point
- PTFE coating increases durability and hook penetration
- Out-turned eye improves presentation for hair-rig setups
- Strong enough to handle larger bonus fish
- Strictly barbless design meets most fishery regulations
Cons
- Not intended for live, hook-direct baits
- Requires hair-rigging for best performance
- Specialized design may be less versatile than standard pattern hooks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, pair these hooks with high-quality hooklink material that complements the hook size. Since these feature an eyed design, they are best tied using a Knotless Knot, which keeps the hair rig in line with the hook shank. To maintain performance, inspect the point after every few fish; the PTFE coating can wear down if it contacts rocks or abrasive gravel. Always store hooks in a dry, protected environment to prevent moisture buildup. When changing rigs, ensure your hooklength is tested for knots to avoid snap-offs when playing larger bonus fish.
