Hooks

Preston KKM-B Eyed Barbless Hooks The KKM hooks are the ultimate hair rigging hook. Based on our original PR36 the KKM has taken them to a whole new level!This hook has several advantages over standard barbless hook patterns. The Out turned eye is a stand out feature, this creates a unique angle which maximises hook hold and increases hooking capability. The KKM features a PTFE coating which improves the hooks durability and sharpness. This dull PTFE coating also decreases the hooks visibility and reduces the chance of fishing being spooked by shiny hooks.This hook is perfect for both feeder and waggler fishing and suited for a wide range of baits; pellets, meat, Band'Ums, corn, etc. Out-turned eye perfect for hair rigging PTFE coating for durability and anti-glare Beaked point Great for Pole, feeder and waggler Ideal for pellets, meat and corn Medium wire gauge

Fox Edges Arma Point Wide Gape Straight Micro Barbed Hooks It had to happen didn’t it? 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. 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. 

 Perfect for both bottom bait and pop-up presentations

Korda Longshank Beaked Hooks  The original Korda Longshank X was based on the popular, original fly hook patterns, which found favour with carp anglers due to their shape and hooking ability – we made them much stronger and sharper. Fast forward 20 years and DF has been tweaking this ultimate carp catcher once again. Heavily influenced by his underwater experiences, Dan decided to make two major changes to one of his favourite patterns, making it an even deadlier option within his armoury. The first change was to create the hook with a beaked point. During testing, the beaked point provided more secure hook holds, increasing the hooked fish to landed ratio significantly. The other change was to in-turn the eye even further. The original pattern has a 20 degree in-turned eye, the new beaked version increases this to 40 degrees.  This helps the hook flip and turn extremely quickly in the carp’s mouth, ensuring consistently good hook-holds. In keeping with the original pattern, the Longshank Beaked is forged, with a stepped-up wire gauge for extra strength, whilst maintaining its durability with a PTFE coating. Key features Developed by DF Beaked point 40 degree in-turned eye Extremely strong PTFE coated Ten hooks per pack

ESP Cryogen Classic Hook The Classic features a longer, finer straight point which is slightly more inclined towards the shank. This fine ultra-sharp point combined with the slick PTFE Tufflon coating and micro barb ensures excellent hook holds. The 13-degree in-turned eye provides excellent anti-eject properties and is a highly versatile pattern for a wide range of presentations.   Over three years of development and the last two years spent thoroughly field testing prototype samples has culminated in the launch of a new range of hooks that we believe sets 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 of 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 Tufflon coated carp hooks in the same wire gauge. 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.   Over an exhaustive two-year field testing period where the hooks were used by around 15 independent specialist carp anglers plus ESP consultants Terry Hearn, Kev Hewitt and Martin Bowler, feedback has been wholly positive from everyone. In fact, we have barely heard of a point turning over let alone a hook gaping out! Over those two years, a serious amount of big carp have been caught on the new hooks from a wide variety of waters and every angler who has used them came back wanting more! Features: Three years of development Cryogenically tempered Incredibly strong Durable ultra sharp needle points Tufflon coated Straight point inclined towards the shank 13-degree in-turned eye Excellent anti-eject properties Highly versatile pattern

ESP Cryogen Grip Rigger Hooks We have been getting asked for a while for a chod / stiff rigger hook with an ultra-sharp beaked point and have answered those pleas with a hook that has even converted a few straight point devotees through the testing process!  Although hook choice is often down to personal preference rather than exact science, a beaked point can provide extra assurance especially in weedy or snaggy conditions, with unbeatable hook holds - and so they have proved through the testing process. Made in the same wire gauges as the Cryogen Stiff Riggers, making them the perfect pop up hook, the Grip Riggers feature heavy forging and of course the Cryogen treatment making them incredibly strong with durable points.      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 of 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.

Thinking Anglers Straight Eye Hooks In a world of extremely niche hook patterns, the TA Straight Eye Hook could mistakenly be overlooked as a ‘Jack of all trades’ hook. Realistically, the pattern should be described as a classic J-pattern, that has been designed so the fine detail sets it apart from the rest. This phenomenally effective pattern combines the perfect length hook shank, with a seriously sharp, long tapered conical point and extra strong wire. This essentially means that the pattern is ideal for use with coated and uncoated braids, monofilament and fluorocarbon. A truly versatile pattern that really does it all and has already accounted for numerous carp – including the Burghfield Common! The combination of our slippery PTFE coating, a durable long tapered hook point, and the optimum length hook shank all ensure that the initial pricking and penetration of this hook pattern is hugely effective, bedding down quickly and securely… These hooks are manufactured from the finest high carbon steel that has been double-tempered and forged from a super-strong, extra-heavy gauge wire so you can confidently use this pattern in any angling situation. These straight eye hooks have been tried and tested by us for 2 years under extremely rigorous and weedy conditions prior to their public release. Key features/specifications: 
PTFE Coating for optimum penetration
 Super strong double tempered extra heavy gauge high carbon steel 
Super sharp, long straight points

ESP Cryogen Stiff Rigger HooksCompared with its predecessor the Mk-2, the super sharp point is longer and finer and more inclined towards the shank for a stronger shape. The point is also in-line with the 13 degree out-turned eye so all the force is straight along the point section of the hook, rather than across the gape making them incredibly strong. Heavy forging and PTFE Tufflon coating plus no discernible increase in wire gauge but with superior strength makes this the perfect pop-up hook! Over three years of development and the last two years spent thoroughly field testing prototype samples has culminated in the launch of a new range of hooks that we believe sets 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.
