Drennan Acolyte Maggot Plus Barbless Fishing Hooks, Due to the development of new materials and new processing techniques, large eyed hooks have improved significantly in strength and durability. Unfortunately the improvements could not be applied to fine wire spade ends... until now! After nearly 3 years of development we have overcome all the technical problems and can offer fine wire spade ends which are signiciantly stronger with more durable, long-life needle points. These hooks are a real game changer! The Acolyte Maggot Plus pattern is similar to the Acolyte Silverfish Barbless Hook, but with a thicker wire gauge! This hook is a traditional maggot pattern and ideal baits include maggot, caster and worm. These hooks are a classic all-round maggot hook.
