Barbed Fishing Hook – Size 9 – Specialty Bait Retention Hook with Multiple Shank Barbs

This Barbed Fishing Hook is a robust, specialized tool designed to solve the common problem of live or soft bait slipping down the hook shank. The unique feature is the inclusion of multiple barbs directly on the shank (in addition to the main point barb), which securely lock soft bait—such as nightcrawlers, shrimp, or clams—in place, preventing them from bunching up or being easily stripped by small nuisance fish.

Constructed with a heavy-duty gauge from high-carbon steel (implied by its quality appearance), this hook resists straightening under heavy load. The sharp, chemically sharpened point ensures reliable hooksets. With a versatile Size 9 and a secure closed ringed eye, this hook is an indispensable accessory for anglers who rely on maintaining a perfect, natural presentation of their bait for extended periods.

Key Benefits

• Superior Bait Retention: Multiple barbs on the shank securely hold soft, delicate, or lively bait in the perfect position.

• Reliable Hookset: Features a sharp point and traditional barb for fast, deep, and reliable penetration.

• Secure Line Tie: Strong, closed ringed eye is suitable for snelling or durable knot tying.

Application Instructions

• Baiting: Thread the soft bait onto the hook, ensuring the barbs on the shank penetrate the bait to hold it securely near the eye.

• Tying: Use a reliable fishing knot (e.g., Palomar, Improved Clinch) to securely fasten the fishing line to the closed eye.

• Hookset: Apply a firm, quick hookset once the fish has fully taken the bait.

• Storage: Clean the hook with fresh water and dry thoroughly after each use to prolong the finish and prevent corrosion.

Pro Tips

• For the easiest removal, use a de-hooking tool or needle-nose pliers, as the shank barbs can make hand removal difficult.

• Store hooks in a dry tackle box with corrosion inhibitors to prevent rust build-up.

• The multiple shank barbs help ensure the bait stays straight and lifelike for a better presentation.

• Discard any hook showing signs of rust or bending.
