hookless

Lacking curved catches

Hookless means lacking a hook or hooks.

The word appears in product descriptions for items designed without hooks—hookless shower curtains use rings or snaps instead of traditional hooks.

It can describe anything from fishing lures to fasteners to biological structures that typically have hooks but in this case don't.
