Hooks

Thinking Anglers Curve Point Hooks The Curve Point hook pattern combines a super sharp curved hook point and in-turned eye and is also finished in our super slippery PTFE coating. The hook pattern wants to bury itself quickly thanks to the angle of pull naturally created by combining the in-turned eye and super-sharp swept hook point. This is enhanced by the slick PTFE coating and the point’s long tapered profile. As soon as the fish is pricked the hook is embedding itself more and more securely, ensuring more pick-ups are translated into fish in the net. The durable swept point is perfectly suited to fishing over rock hard gravel areas where the critical sharpness of the point could be compromised when feeding carp disrupt the area where the rig is laying. Forged from a strong heavy gauge wire, the Curve Point is the classic pattern for boilie and particle fishing hard on the deck. The pattern is truly versatile and has proven to be the perfect pattern to use in combination with the phenomenal Noodle rig. Key features/specifications: 
PTFE Coating for optimum penetration.
 Strong double tempered heavy gauge high carbon steel.
 Long, tapered swept hook point.
 18° in-turned eye.

Gardner Covert Dark Mugga Hooks The legendary Mugga hook pattern has been pivotal in the capture of countless big carp. The latest Covert Dark Mugga hooks have been given a facelift with several key improvements that make them even better! Firstly, we have totally re-specified the shape and length of the Mugga’s point so they are longer and much sharper than before. The new long tapered points are a massive step up and ensure the hook pricks and penetrates even quicker. Next, we have swapped over to the new stripped down Covert Dark plating. This new finish still offers excellent camouflage thanks to the matt finish, and also ensures that we keep the sharpest possible point on the hook as it is a single electroplated finish and the reduction in handling during the finishing process means the points remain immaculate and razor sharp. We’ve also upgraded to a micro barb on all the new Covert Dark Hooks. This offers two major benefits. Firstly, many commercial fisheries require anglers to use patterns with small barbs as it is kinder to the fish’s mouth, and secondly micro barbed hooks are stronger as less wire is cut out to form the barb. This combined with the longer chemically etched point has made the Covert Dark Mugga a truly awesome hook. If you look at the design of the Mugga it’s not hard to see why it offers unrivalled hooking potential when used with a variety of hooklink materials. The aggressive hooking action and strong hook holds that the pattern gives are due to a combination of key features working perfectly together. The combination of a sweeping, slightly curve shank and a 25° in-turned eye cause the hook to flip as soon as the hooklink tightens or the hook eye reaches the edge of fish’s lip. This unique action means that the hook will take hold firmly in the corner of the mouth or in the bottom lip without having to add shrink tube to improve a less effective ‘similar’ pattern. After this the orientation between the hook eye and the super sharp straight point creates the best possible angle to aid the hook penetrating quickly and securely. Simply, this means you will land more fish. Covert Dark Mugga hooks are constructed using a forged, high carbon wire that has been double tempered to ensure they are amazingly strong relative to the wire gauge.*Heavier gauge ‘Continental Mugga’ hooks are available for anglers that need the strongest possible Mugga hooks. Gardner Covert Dark Mugga hooks feature: COVERT DARK matt finish. Longer, sharper chemically etched straight point. Short curved shank and 25˚ in-turned. Manufactured from forged, double tempered, high carbon steel wire for strength. Barbed or Barbless. Supplied as 10 hooks per packet.

Fox Edges Arma Point Zig & Floater Hook It had to happen! Our Edges range of terminal tackle has taken the carping world by storm over the past three years with anglers across the globe appreciating that we had taken rig component design to a whole new level. There was of course one item of terminal tackle that our product development team hadn’t given the Edges treatment too, and that quite simply is because it has taken them many years to design, develop and test this range. We haven’t simply picked up a hook manufacturers catalogue and picked a few patterns off the shelf, oh no, we have drawn up the patterns from scratch using the latest CAD software packages to ensure that every single detail in every single pattern is exactly how they need to be for the modern carp angler. Every eye, point and shank on every pattern has been designed to our specifications to ensure that they perform exactly how the modern angler needs them to. The end result is an Edges Arma Point hook range that features eight patterns, and that are in our opinion and that of our angling consultants, the strongest and sharpest out of the packet hooks you will find on the market. Designed specifically for use on Zig and surface rigs Also suited to bottom bait stiff rig presentations Needle-sharp straight point Slightly outturned eye for use with monofilament hooklinks Non-reflective dark coating Super-strong yet lightweight XC80 Vanadium forged steel construction Finer wire gage compared to other Edges hooks due to the delicate presentations they are designed for 10 per packet

ESP Cryogen Chod Hammer Hooks The Chod-Hammers incorporate some of the best key features of their bigger brother, the highly effective Trig-Hammer; crucially we have mirrored the point profile of the Trig’s across all the sizes, so the long fine needle points are incredibly sharp. The twin tempering process also means that although the points are very fine, they are also tough and durable. We have also mirrored the bend of the Trig to create a very strong shape. The heavy forging and correct tempering gives the Chod-Hammers the correct degree of spring making them highly unlikely to open or snap. The medium length shank terminates in a subtly out-turned eye, perfect for tying the knotless knot with stiff hook link materials such as bristle filament. On this range we have increased the eye diameter slightly so that the larger sizes can accommodate 25lb bristle filament three times through the eye. Wire gauges on the Chod-Hammers have been kept the same as their forerunner the Cryogen Stiff Rigger And with the sizes being very similar it means you can use the same pop-ups in relation to the hook size. These new hooks have past the testing process with flying colours, consistently achieving excellent hook holds and none of the guys that have tested them have felt the need to sharpen the points as they are needle sharp straight from the packet.Features: Cryogenically tempered Durable ultra sharp needle points Tufflon coated Micro-barb and barbless

Korda Krank X Hooks This pattern has been a huge seller since Tom Dove first came up with it back in 2014, and has accounted for countless big fish both at home and abroad, and even some monsters of other species well in excess of 100lb, in Thailand. The unique shape features a very wide gape, with quite a short, curved shank into a slightly in-turned eye – the in-turned effect is accentuated by the shape of the shank and the way it sweeps round to the eye. The point, which is slightly beaked, is offset and this shape helps it to ‘Krank’ its way in once it takes an initial hold. These hooks are very strong, and feature a micro barb which won’t hinder penetration, but once in, will ensure that the hook stays in place. A barbless version is also available. The Krank can be used with a wide variety of different rigs and is incredibly effective even with a simple knotless knot, or it can be used on more complicated set-ups, such as the Spinner Rig which Tom Dove favours himself. There is also a stepped-up heavy duty Krank X version, which is designed for use in very weedy or snaggy conditions, or when fishing more extreme continental waters.Key features Can be used with a variety of rigs Short curved shank Beaked point Extra strong and sharp

The pattern is ideal for use with almost any presentation; ranging from the ‘bog standard’ knotless knotted hair and blow back rig, through to KD rigs, Slip-D’s, 360’s and the hugely popular ‘Ronnie’ rig.
