Kamasan’s B830 carries the name Trout Classic Lure Long on its label P. This entry documents it from a size 8 box and hook, using photographs, caliper measurements and four dealer listings.
No maker catalogue, date marking, or production history has turned up, so the entry gives no era. Open points remain on wire weight, bend pattern, and where the shank was measured.

The box label prints the model code B830 in red and the name Trout Classic Lure Long. The maker’s wordmark reads KAMASAN P.
Loose hooks lose the label, and form alone probably does not separate the B830 from other long-shank hooks I. Compare the size 8 measurements in the size table before naming one.

The shank is plain, essentially straight and long relative to the gap P. Dealer listings describe it as 2X long V, meaning a shank the length of a standard hook two sizes larger.
The hook is forged V. The size 8 box label states a chemically sharpened needle point and high carbon steel P, and dealer listings repeat both V.
Wire weight is classed heavy. One dealer listing agrees V; two describe it as medium V.

This record documents one specimen. It describes that specimen only, not every example of the model.
The label is intact, flat and clean; the lid plastic is lightly scuffed. The loose hook photographed is assigned to this box on the size 8 designation alone, and the photograph does not confirm it came from the box.
