Our GRIPZ Catfish hooks are designed using the incredibly popular Eagle Wave pattern. Available in sizes 1, 1/0 and 2/0 these unique hooks are both unbelievably sharp and super strong with a cutting point and dull anti-glare finish.

Combine these factors with the Gripz process results in a superb catfish hook which is both extremely effective and fish friendly.

We believe our Gripz Catfish hooks are the best hooks on the market for those anglers seeking a high-quality hook designed to tame even the biggest of Catfish.

After extensive research, where the limitations of both barbed and barbless were scrutinised, there has been an obvious need for improvement thus resulting in this radical design that crosses the boundaries between what we have had and what we now have.

Made from high-grade Japanese wire, the key improvement has been the introduction of a series of minute horizontal grooves on the inside of the specially designed arrow shaped hook point, where historically the barb would have been.

These grooves allow the hook to hold securely in the fish’s mouth when pressure is applied, as the flesh presses into the grooves resulting in a firm hook hold with no slippage. As soon as the pressure is removed the hook returns to a barbless format allowing for easy and safe removal. Simple but so very effective.

None of us can deny that this is a serious and genuine development within the hook sector and one that is set to transform the sport and truly add benefits for both anglers, fish and fisheries. The distinct advantages of GRIPZ Hooks are easy to appreciate when you consider hook slippage, fish loss via barbless patterns, hook removal damage and trailing rigs through barbed patterns.
