Preston MCM-B Hooks - Eyed: The Match Angler's Go-To Hook

When it comes to match fishing, the hook is the most critical piece of tackle between you and the fish. Get it wrong and you'll bump fish, miss bites, or lose that winning catch at the net. Get it right, and everything clicks into place. The Preston MCM-B Eyed Hook is one of those hooks that just works — session after session, venue after venue.

What Makes the MCM-B Eyed Hook Special?

Preston Innovations have built a reputation for producing hooks that match anglers trust at the highest level. The MCM-B is no exception. The eyed design sets it apart from spade-end alternatives — giving you a stronger, more reliable knot connection that holds firm even when you're playing a lively carp or F1 at close range on the pole.

• Precision-ground point — penetrates instantly for confident hook-ups on the strike
• Eyed design — easy to tie, strong knot connection, suitable for all hooklength materials
• Micro-barbed — keeps bait secure without causing unnecessary damage to fish
• Reliable wire gauge — strong enough for carp and F1s, fine enough for silverfish

What Baits Work Best on the MCM-B Eyed?

The MCM-B Eyed is a genuinely versatile hook that performs across a wide range of presentations:

• Maggot — single or double maggot on a size 16–18 for roach, skimmers, and F1s
• Caster — a single caster on a size 14–16 for quality fish on natural venues
• Pellet — banded or hair-rigged pellet on a size 12–14 for commercial carp
• Worm — a small piece of dendrobaena on a size 14 for perch and tench
• Paste — moulded around the hook on a size 10–12 for big carp on the method or pole

Which Venues Suit the MCM-B Eyed?

This hook is at home on commercials and natural venues alike. Whether you're fishing a busy match on a Midlands commercial, targeting bream on a canal, or chasing silverfish on a river, the MCM-B Eyed gives you the confidence to fish with precision and control.

How to Tie the MCM-B Eyed Hook

The eyed design makes tying straightforward. A simple knotless knot or tucked half blood knot works perfectly with most hooklength materials including fluorocarbon, mono, and braid. Always wet the knot before pulling tight to ensure maximum strength.
