Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike and predator anglers fishing deadbaits. The X-Strong build and wide gape are aimed squarely at heavy-duty bait presentations.
- Anglers tying spare rigs before a session. Seven hooks in a pack gives you a useful handful for fresh traces, bait rigs and replacements.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers fishing venues that require barbless hooks. These are barbed trebles, so they won’t suit rules that insist on barbless terminal tackle.
- Small-bait and finesse specialists. The heavy-duty design may be more hook than you need for delicate presentations or smaller predators.

The X-Strong build, PowerPoint points and black nickel finish give it a properly purposeful package.
The wide gape and sharp straight points suit robust bait rigs and clean hook presentation.
A sharp, well-positioned treble can improve the odds of a solid connection when a predator takes the bait.
Four sizes make matching straightforward, and the hooks are simple to incorporate into standard predator rigs.
Seven hooks per pack is useful, though the £7.49 RRP is more sensible for planned rig tying than bulk stock-up purchases.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Predator Treble Hooks
When you’re sorting a predator rig, the hook isn’t the bit to skimp on, mate. It’s the business end. The Fox Rage Predator Treble Hooks are made for anglers who want a proper, punchy treble for bait fishing, rather than something dainty that feels a bit too delicate when a decent pike has snaffled the lot.
These are the X-Strong version, and that tells you plenty about where they sit in the tackle box. They’re designed for heavy-duty bait fishing, so think deadbaits, tougher presentations and rigs where you want a bit of confidence in the metal. They’re not trying to be fancy. They’re built to get on with the job.
The hook points are straight and super-sharp, using Fox Rage’s PowerPoint design. That’s exactly what you want when a predator picks up a bait and you’re looking for clean contact. A sharp point can make the difference between a proper connection and that horrible moment when the line goes slack and you’re left staring at a chewed bait.
The wide-gape shape is another useful touch. It gives the hook a decent opening around the bait, rather than making everything feel cramped and cluttered. That can help when you’re mounting a deadbait or building a simple trace, especially if you want the trebles sitting neatly instead of buried awkwardly in the presentation.
There are four sizes in the range: 2, 4, 6 and 8. That gives you room to match the hook to the bait, the rig and the sort of fishing you’re doing. Don’t just reach for the biggest one because it looks more serious. The right size is the one that sits naturally and still leaves the points working properly.
The black nickel finish keeps the look understated. It’s a familiar finish for predator terminal tackle and won’t make the hook look like a shiny bit of cutlery hanging off your bait. More importantly, the overall package is clearly aimed at practical bait rigs, not showroom decoration. You want a hook that does its job and stays out of the way.
You get seven hooks in a pack, with a listed RRP of £7.49. That’s handy for building a few rigs ahead of a session or keeping replacements ready in the predator box. Trebles can get damaged, dulled or lost during the usual bank-side faff, so having spares tucked away is always bob on.
Being barbed does mean you need to check the rules before clipping one on. Plenty of predator venues have their own requirements around barbs, hook patterns and rig construction. If barbed trebles are allowed, these make sense for robust bait work. If the venue insists on barbless, you’ll need a different option.
Overall, the Fox Rage Predator Treble Hooks are a straightforward bit of terminal tackle with a clear job description. Sharp points, a wide gape, X-Strong construction and four sizes make them a useful choice for bait anglers who want dependable-looking trebles without a load of faff. Pick the size sensibly, tie them neatly and keep a couple of spares in the box.

Our take
Sharp, wide-gape and made for proper bait work
The X-Strong build is the big draw here. These aren’t aimed at finesse work; they’re designed for heavy-duty bait fishing, with straight PowerPoint hook points, a wide gape and a black nickel finish.
Pick the size around your bait and rig, rather than simply grabbing the biggest treble in the packet. A neat, well-matched hook usually fishes better than an oversized one that makes the bait look a bit naff.
The hook itself
A tough treble with a clear purpose
The X-Strong design is aimed at heavy-duty bait fishing, with a wide gape and straight, super-sharp PowerPoint points. That combination makes them a natural fit for predator bait rigs where the hook needs to sit cleanly and offer plenty of purchase.
The black nickel finish gives the hooks a low-key look, while the four available sizes cover a good spread of bait and rig situations. Sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8 are all barbed.
Worth knowing. Check the rules before fishing them. They’re barbed trebles, and some venues have specific requirements for predator hooks and rigs.
On the bank
Best for robust bait fishing
These are best suited to predator anglers making deadbait rigs or other heavy-duty bait presentations. The X-Strong build gives the range a purposeful feel, while the wide gape helps avoid making the hook look lost in the bait.
They’re also useful as spare hooks in a rig wallet. Predator fishing can be hard on terminal tackle, whether a point gets dulled, a rig gets snagged or a hook disappears with a bait. Seven in a pack gives you a decent little reserve.
Match the hook size to the bait and presentation. A tidy rig with the trebles sitting in the right places is usually far more useful than simply going oversized and hoping for the best.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The range comes in sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8. Size choice depends on your bait and rig, so it’s worth carrying more than one size if you fish different presentations through the season.
Each pack contains seven hooks. The listed RRP is £7.49 per pack, making them a practical option for topping up your terminal tackle rather than buying a huge bulk quantity.
Product codes are FHK017 for size 2, FHK018 for size 4, FHK019 for size 6 and FHK020 for size 8. They’re intended for predator fishing and are particularly aimed at heavy-duty bait work.

Worth knowing
- Barbed points aren’t the right choice for every venue or fishery rule.
