The hook can either be fixed wit ha ‘knotless’ knot or mounted as a sliding hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turned out eye means that if you wish you can use a snell knot to attach the Varivas Chinu rather than a conventional knot. The advantage of the snell knot is that it keeps the hook in line with the trace and when bites are hard to hit this slight change in presentation can see an increase in hook ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Hooks per pack\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varivas","offers":[{"title":"8","offer_id":57437506699638,"sku":"VARCHIN8","price":2.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":57437506732406,"sku":"VARCHIN6","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4","offer_id":57437506765174,"sku":"VARCHIN4","price":2.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2","offer_id":57437506797942,"sku":"VARCHIN2","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1","offer_id":57437506830710,"sku":"VARCHIN1","price":3.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/0","offer_id":57437506863478,"sku":"VARCHIN1\/0","price":3.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\/0","offer_id":57437506896246,"sku":"VARCHIN2\/0","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\/0","offer_id":57437506929014,"sku":"VARCHIN3\/0","price":4.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\/0","offer_id":57437506961782,"sku":"VARCHIN5\/0","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5759\/2950\/files\/varivas-chinu-hook.jpg?v=1773103692","url":"https:\/\/stevesbaits.co.uk\/products\/varivas-chinu-fishing-hook","provider":"stevesbaits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
