which hook

[wotnobivvy]

I want to make up some blowback rigs and can't find any longshank barbless hooks. Can anyone recommend some, in sizes 10 and larger

ESP Longshanx come in barbless... excellent hook, had plenty of fish on them last year.

I'm pretty sure the Fox armapoint longshanks have a barbless version as well.

Many thanks, I'll try a packet of each

Hi

90% of my fishing over the past 3 seasons has been with blowback rigs..

I use gamatsu size8's or korda longshanks in size 8.

Watch the kordas though, they are very sharp but the point burrs over very easily..

had fish to over 40lb last season using both variety's..

Use with confidence..

i usually use the korda long shank x but as most waters are barbless only rule i crush the barbs until its totally smooth and safe for the carp and ill always show the bailliff to double check its ok to use like that.. i jus do that by running my small finger over it .. ive caught lots of carp using a blowback with the long shank x hooks
