Gamakatsu A1 carp

Gamakatsu A1 carp hook for carp fishing

This is the Japanese version of the famous European hook “G-CARP A1 Specialist.” It brings the quality of the Specialist series with adaptations for the Japanese market and professional carp fishing.

• A1 material: The hook is made of Gamakatsu’s unique A1 material (vanadium and tungsten compound), which gives it tremendous strength while maintaining light weight.
• Nano Smooth Coat Coating: A highly advanced coating (Gamakatsu patent) that reduces friction to almost zero, allowing for incredibly fast and smooth penetration (“Hooking Performance”) even with delicate touches.
• Strength: This material is 20% stronger than regular steel. This means that it is possible to produce a thinner and lighter hook that will be as strong as a thick and heavy hook.
• Hardness: The point remains sharp much longer (“Harder point”), even after dragging on gravel or rocks at the bottom.
• Camouflage: Most A1 hooks come in a special matte coating (usually dark gray/green) that does not reflect light, for perfect camouflage in the water.

• Made in Japan
