Arma-Point hooks have been in concept and testing for more than two years. The result… possibly the greatest advancement in custom carp hook design for more than a decade! Exclusive cutting edge technology has resulted in a range of hooks with a number of advantages including a new hi-tech tempering process. This has radically increased strength and hardness resulting in exceptionally strong hooks with an incredibly sharp, genuinely longer lasting point. Combined with a non reflective, non-rust Teflon® coating, this produces a hook with unrivalled durability and sharpness! In fact during the lengthy field testing process,one angler was able to use the same hook for more than 35 captures! The SSBP is a fantastic hook for particle fishing or as a pop-up pattern for boilie fishing. The classic combination of short shank, wide gape and a gently curved point produces solid, reliable hook holds and makes it ideal for use over gravel
