Series 16506 has a wide range of application and is recommended for various kinds of float, feeder, carp (including Knotless Knot) and other rigs with alive baits including worms, shells, maggots or wheat, corn, dough or porridge. It has medium length of the shank, round bend, very straight and sharp point, slightly curved outward barb (Twisted Point) and round eye for easy line tying. Forged single hooks of 16506 series Pontoon21 are made of high quality stainless steel wire (CoupWire). Thanks to high-precision hardening, they retain the sharpness of points for a long time (ProThrust) and are excellent for the most delicate baits. These hooks are resilient enough to resist against unbending or breakage during the fight with the fish. The main advantage of Pontoon21 hooks is the perfect smooth connection of the eye with the shank to protect the leader from damage when fishing and fighting fish. Thin yet durable Teflon coating helps: - to penetrate the hook through the mouth of the fish; - to mask the hook with a neutral and non-blinking color; - to protect the hook from corrosion even after use in sea water. Made in Japan, packaged in the Philippines.
