Product Information
Full details
The Guru Super XS Eyed Hook is designed for serious anglers targeting big fish on both commercial and natural venues, offering a robust solution for those who rely on hair-rigging or banding baits. Its primary strength lies in its wide-gape, PTFE-coated design, which maximizes hook-up potential and long-term sharpness. While it is an exceptionally versatile tool for species like barbel and chub, users should be aware that the aggressive gauge requires careful matching with appropriate line diameters to avoid compromising the hook's integrity during the fight.

FAQs
Is the Guru Super XS Eyed Hook suitable for braid?
Yes, the eye is designed to work perfectly with modern braids and monofilament lines.
What is the primary benefit of the PTFE coating?
The coating reduces friction for better penetration and provides a durable, non-reflective finish.
Can I use these hooks for small carp?
Yes, they are highly effective for carp; the size 10 is excellent for mid-sized specimens.
What does the 'eyed' designation mean?
It means the hook has a closed loop at the end of the shank, making it ideal for tied rigs and hair-rigging.
Are these hooks barbed or barbless?
The Guru Super XS Eyed range comes in a barbed variant for maximum security in specimen fishing.
What is the best way to attach a pellet to this hook?
Use a silicone bait band looped through the eye of the hook or attached to a hair rig.
Troubleshooting
Hook pulls occurring during the fight
Ensure your drag system is set correctly and consider checking if the bait size is too large for the current hook gauge.
Point becoming dull after minimal use
Avoid dragging the hook point across hard gravel; check the hook point against your fingernail before and after casting to verify sharpness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Guru Super XS Eyed hooks, ensure you use a knot suited for eyed hooks, such as the Knotless Knot, which is ideal for hair-rigging. When matching to line, use a high-quality monofilament or braid that complements the hook's strength—typically, 6lb to 10lb line works well with the size 10. For maintenance, keep your hooks in a dry environment to ensure the PTFE coating remains in top condition. If you notice any signs of the point turning or becoming dull after fishing over particularly abrasive rocky bottoms, it is best to replace the rig immediately to maintain your hook-up efficiency.
