Key features

Trolling hook: Its shape with a curved eye and straight shank ("inset") makes it ideal as a trolling hook, i.e., the first hook on a live bait rig. This setup prevents the bait from spinning during trolling, ensuring more natural movement.

Reinforced version: The "Redentex Front+" version (identified by the "+" in the name) is an extra-strong ("X-Strong") variant of the original model. It is made with thicker wire for greater hold under strain and better resistance during fights with large prey.

Materials and coatings:

Vanadium steel: Offers a combination of strength and lightness.

Coastal PTFE® coating: A Teflon coating that improves hook penetration and corrosion resistance, essential for saltwater use.

Resin-sealed eye: A special sleeve on the eye, called Resin Keeper, protects the line knot during the fight, preventing damage and breakage.

Super Long Needle Sharp™ point: The hook point is particularly sharp to ensure quick and effective penetration.

Locking Curve® technical shape: The design of the curve helps to multiply the strength of the steel and firmly hold the fish after the strike.
