ESP Cryogen Curve Shanx Hooks These Curves are now around 25% stronger than their predecessors while still retaining long fine needle sharp points which are now extra durable. These are highly effective in a whole variety of rig presentations (perfect for the Ronnie Rig) and their quick turning, anti-eject shape combined with a needle sharp point ensures exceptional hook holds. The initial launch of ESP Cryogen hooks in March 2016 caused a massive stir with discerning anglers quickly recognising the distinct technical advantages they offered. They were the result of over three years of development and field testing which culminated in a new standard in strength and point durability. New manufacturing techniques including both high temperature and cryogenic tempering have produced significantly stronger hooks with more durable, long life points. Cryogenic tempering is a process used to improve the molecular structure in steel which in turn reduces stress and improves strength and wear resistance. It is used in many disciplines with Formula 1 engine parts being a classic example. Bench tests on initial samples proved to us that the new tempering processes combined with improved designs and heavy forging resulted in hooks that were 25-30% stronger than other PTFE coated carp hooks in the same wire gauge. We subsequently sent the hooks for independent scientific testing on hardness and tensile strength and the tests carried out confirmed and supported our initial findings. So rather than having to improve strength by simply increasing wire gauge, new manufacturing processes have allowed us to maintain optimum wire gauges for each size which allow for fine, ultra-sharp needle points which are now more durable than ever. ESP is now delighted to introduce three new patterns into the Cryogen range, with each type having been developed, tested and 'tweaked' over the last 18 months. They have proved outstanding in field testing and provide an even greater choice in high-performance, long-lasting carp hooks. Features: Three years of development Cryogenically tempered Incredibly strong Durable ultra sharp needle points Long straight points Tufflon coated Barbless and Micro Barbed

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

Drennan Method Bandits Carp Method Method Bandits are convenient, pre-tied hooklengths complete with hair-rigged latex bait bands and perfect for the Method feeder.  The strongest Method Bandits are tied to our robust Carp Method hooks in sizes 8 to 16 and with hooklength diameters from 0.24mm (10lb) down to 0.22mm (8lb). Each hooklength is 90mm long, which we believe is the optimum length for an effective Method feeder or pellet feeder setup. The hair-rigged latex band can be used to mount a number of hook baits. It can be stretched around a hard pellet or dumbbell boilie with the help of a Band Stretcher. Alternatively, it can be pulled inside a soft pellet, drilled boilie or cube of meat with the help of a Pellet Band Puller. Method Bandits are individually hand tied and, just like our already popular Carp Method Pushstop Hair Rigs, they are packed straight to avoid any chance of kinking. 90mm long hooklengths 8 hook­lengths per packet

Thinking Anglers Curve Shank Hooks TA Curve Shank hooks are ideal for all manner of big fish rig applications. 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. This is simply an amazingly versatile hook pattern. Curve Shank hooks have a needle sharp, long tapered, durable point and are manufactured from forged and double tempered super-strong, extra-heavy gauge steel wire that is essential to ensure the reliability in curved shank hook patterns. This exacting manufacturing process optimizes the strength of the high carbon wire and this means that the hooks offer amazing strength in relation to the wire gauge used in their construction.  The combination of an in-turned eye, curve shank and needle-sharp straight point is naturally an extremely positive hooking design that turns very aggressively. By coating the pattern in our super-slippery PTFE coating, and the combination of a positive angle of drawer ensures the pattern reacts aggressively and then takes a secure hold as the hook fully penetrates quickly.  These Curve Shank hooks have undergone rigorous and extensive testing across a wide range of demanding big carp scenarios by our team prior to their general release and the results have been epic. Key features/specifications: PTFE Coating for optimum penetration

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.

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.
