Korda Kamakura Wide Gape X Hooks
The Kamakura sharpening process produces a hook point which is every bit as good as a hand-sharpened hook, but without you having to spend all the time and effort involved in doing it yourself – you can be confident that these hooks are perfect every time, straight out of the box.
The Kamakura Wide Gape X is a stepped-up version of this classic pattern, with thicker gauge wire, but featuring a much sharper, finer point than the standard ‘X’ hook – it is likely that you will need to change your hook after every fish you catch, due to the points being so delicate.
It features a slightly in-turned eye, with a short shank, heavily forged bend, and a beaked point. It can be used with a wide variety of different pop-up and bottom bait presentations, and once it goes in it tends to stay in.
The points are protected by a blob of wax which needs to be carefully removed before use, and they come supplied in a box which holds each individual hook securely in place – you get ten hooks in each box.
Key features
Based on the original Wide Gape
Incredibly sharp beaked point
Point protected by wax
Micro Barbed only
ESP Cryogen Claw Hammer Hooks
Claw-Hammers have a sweeping beaked point ideal for fishing over gravel and for assured hook holds in thick weed. Perfect when used with bottom bait combi / flipper type rigs.With longer, finer points this wide gape pattern accounted for a lot of big carp over 12 months of field testing!
Incredibly sharp straight out of the packet, ardent hook sharpeners like Gaz Fareham have been testing without reaching for the file. Together with a slick PTFE Tuflon coating and micro barbs these ensure excellent penetration.The wire gauge has been stepped up on the two largest sizes by 0.1mm and heavy forging improves strength even further.
The point length to wire diameter ratio ensures the points are still long, fine and needle sharp!
The twin process of heat and cryogenic tempering ensures formidable strength and point durability with just the right degree of shock absorbing ‘spring’ – neither too soft nor too brittle.
Enlarged eye diameters allow for thicker monofilaments to be used with the knotless knot.
Slick PTFE tuflon coating
Barbless or Micro Barbed
ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer HooksA new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. Ultra-sharp, long fine needle points combined with an aggressive shape that achieves incredibly secure hook holds.
Especially affective on Ronnie’s and also bottom bait rigs where it ‘flips and pricks’ instantly.
Made using the same twin tempering process as the existing Cryogen hooks which results in exceptional strength and point durability.
The relative proportions of a long subtly curved shank, 9° in-turned eye, wide gape and long hypodermic like point result in a hook pattern that is incredibly effective.
On Ronnie rigs the hook point is in an aggressive poised position making it a very efficient hooker with superb hook holds and it is equally effective on bottom bait rigs, where the hook is very difficult to eject and turns and catches hold securely even without the aid of a line aligner or ‘kicker’.
Features:
Years of development
Cryogenically tempered
Incredibly strong

Micro-barbed and Barbless
Korda Spinner Hooks
Our newest hook pattern designed purposely for use with the Spinner Rig.
The 55-degree eye angle follows the direction of a kicker which enables the hook to sit perfectly when used with a buoyant hook bait.
Furthermore, the long, curved shank opens the gape of the hook when mounted on a Spinner Swivel offering the very best hooking potential.
Coupled with a super sharp, straight hook point, these hooks raise the bar even further when using the already deadly Spinner Rig.
The hooks have a durable PTFE coating and are available in sizes 4, 6, 8, barbed and barbless.
Supplied in packs of 10.
Purposely for use with the Spinner Rig
Super sharp, straight hook point
PTFE coated
Intermediate sizes available
Korda Long Shank X Hooks
This hook was based on the popular, original fly hook patterns, which found favour with carp anglers due to their shape and hooking ability – but this is a much stronger and sharper version of that pattern.
This pattern is one of the original styles of hook in carp fishing, but is still just as effective today with modern rigs, thanks to a 20 degree in-turned eye, long shank and straight point, which ensures that it flips over and takes a hold very easily, ensuring consistently good hookholds.
The Longshank X is also very strong and can stand up to being used on snaggy and weedy waters, thanks to the forging on the bend and the gauge of wire used.
Key features
Long shank and inturned eye
Straight, sharp point
Great for snaggy or weedy waters
Korda Klor Hook
The Klor hook pattern was designed and created by Danny Fairbrass to be an aggressive, strong, fast turning hook with brilliant hooking potential with a variety of rigs.
It is incredibly strong and proven to be able to withstand fishing for big carp in extreme conditions, both at home and abroad.
The Klor has a very aggressive shape (even more so than our Kurv Shank hook), with the point in line with the eye, and this encourages it to turn quickly and take hold in the mouth of a carp.
It is suitable for use with all manner of rigs, including the Combi Rig and Spinner Rig presentations, and with bottom baits, pop-ups and wafters.
The point is long, ultra-sharp and slightly in-turned which makes it far less likely to be damaged by nuisance species, such as crayfish and small fish, moving it around on the bottom, especially when fishing over gravel.
The wire is a heavy gauge, and this results in a very strong hook which can be used in weedy or snaggy conditions, even when using braid, without fear of it bending out.
During testing Danny landed carp to over 60lb from wild, French waters that were full of snags.
Despite the thickness of the wire, the point remains very sharp and the whisker barb, once the hook goes in, will ensure it stays in place.
Key features
Aggressive, strong, fast turning
Incredibly strong
Suitable for all manner of rigs
Long, ultra-sharp point
Heavy gauge
10 per pack
Korda Kamakura Choddy Hooks
The Kamakura sharpening process produces a hook point which is every bit as good as a hand-sharpened hook, but without you having to go to all the time and effort involved in doing it yourself.
The Kamakura Choddy hook has been specifically designed for use with stiff hook links and rig presentations such as the chod rig or hinged stiff rig, but it can also be used with other pop-up presentations as well.
It has an out-turned eye, to help give a continuous curve from the hook link to the hook when using stiff presentations, and the rest of its shape is based upon the iconic Wide Gape pattern, albeit in a slightly thicker wire.
It is an incredibly strong hook, with a slightly curved point, and the barb is of a size that doesn’t hinder penetration, but once in, helps the hook stay securely in place.
The points are protected by a blob of wax which needs to be carefully removed before use, and they come supplied in a box which holds each individual hook securely in place – you get ten hooks in each box.Key features
Based on the ortiginal Choddy pattern
Incredibly sharp and fine point
