R-Talon

Building upon the success of the Longshanker, we developed the R-Talon, a hook designed with performance-driven modifications to further improve efficiency in hooking and landing carp. One of the most significant changes was the introduction of a beaked point. During extensive testing, this adjustment proved to be a game-changer, delivering noticeably more secure hook holds. The beaked design allows the point to maintain its grip even under pressure, dramatically increasing the ratio of hooked fish to those successfully landed.
 
Another key enhancement is the increased inward turn of the eye. While the original Longshanker features a 20-degree in-turned eye, the R-Talon pushes this angle to 40 degrees, allowing the hook to engage even more aggressively within the carp’s mouth. This refined geometry results in rapid hook-flipping action, ensuring consistent penetration and better hook-hold security. Whether you're presenting a rig in difficult conditions or facing particularly wary fish, the R-Talon excels by maximizing hooking efficiency when it matters most.
 
Designed for anglers who demand reliability, strength, and intelligent design in their terminal tackle, the R-Longshanker and R-Talon redefine what’s possible in hook performance. Every aspect has been carefully considered and tested to provide the confidence needed when targeting large, hard-fighting carp. With sharper points, stronger construction, and optimized mechanics for quicker engagement, these hooks set a new standard in carp fishing.
 
The R-Talon are manufactured using premium grade carbon steel, with a forged shank and bend, chemically sharpened point and are finished with a PTFE coating.
