This hook is based on the popular, original fly hook models that became beloved among carp anglers thanks to their shape and good hooking properties – but this is a significantly stronger and sharper version of that model.

This pattern is one of the original hook types in carp fishing, but is still just as effective today with modern rigs. Thanks to a 20-degree in-turned eye, long shank, and straight point, it easily turns and quickly gets a hold, providing consistently secure hook holds. The Longshank X is also very strong and can handle fishing in snaggy and weedy waters, thanks to its forged bend and thick wire gauge.
