ESP Cryogen Slammer Hooks
The point length has been increased to mirror the hugely successful Trig and Chod Hammers resulting in incredibly sharp hooks straight out of the packet.
On the two largest sizes 4 and 5 the wire gauge has been stepped up by 0.1mm for improved strength and the heavy forging helps accentuates this.
However due to the point length to wire diameter ratio used the points are still long, fine and needle sharp.
The twin tempering 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.
As per all the other Cryogen hooks in the range, these feature a slick PTFE Tuflon coating and micro barbs which ensure excellent penetration and secure hook holds.
Enlarged eye diameters pro-rata across the range of sizes allow for thicker monofilaments to be used with the knotless knot.Features:
Longer, finer points that are incredibly sharp straight out of the packet
0.1mm wire diameter increase on the 4’s and 5’s
Point length to diameter ratio means the point length is increased in proportion to the wire diameter - maintaining incredibly sharp points even on a relatively heavy wire diameter
Heavy forging accentuates the heavier wire gauge
Twin tempering 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
Available in barbed and barbless. The slick ptfe coating and micro barbs ensure excellent pricking, penetration and secure hook holds
Enlarged eye diameters for thick monofilaments with three times through the eye knotless knots
Guru Super Pellet Waggler
The upgraded PTFE coated version of the extremely popular Pellet Waggler hook. Designed with float hair rigging in mind.
As the name suggests, it’s particularly suited for use with the pellet waggler, which is so effective on commercial carp waters.
The hooks feature an out-turned eye, which ensures that the line exits the eye in a straight line, making for better presentation and greater hooking potential.
An extra-long, durable point and wide gape practically guarantees extremely secure hook holds, which will result in more fish in the net.

Korda Kurv Shank X
The Kurv Shank is a very versatile hook and can be used with both pop-up and bottom bait rigs, including popular presentations such as the KD and IQ D-rig.
It has great hooking properties thanks to an aggressively in-turned eye and curved shank, which helps it to flip round and take a hold inside the mouth, even when using it without Shrink Tube or a Kicker.
Hooking potential is also aided by its long, needle sharp point.
Key features
Used with both pop-up and bottom bait rigs
Aggressively in-turned eye and curved shank
Long, needle sharp point
Kurv Shank X version, stronger than standard hook
Korda Krank Choddy Hooks
Like the original Krank hook, the Krank Choddy was designed by head of product development, Tom Dove, after he noticed that the shape of the shank would be perfect for chod rig presentations.
The Krank Choddy is the same shape as the original Krank, but with an out-turned eye, so that when used with a stiff material such as Mouth Trap there is a continuous curve all the way along the hook link and hook shank, making it the ultimate chod presentation.
It has a razor sharp beaked point, which is slightly offset with a very wide gape, to increase the hooking potential and ensure that you get a good hook hold.
It is a very strong pattern that is suitable for use in weedy and snaggy situations.Key features
Perfect for chod and stiff rigs
Out-turned eye
Razor sharp, beaked point
Very strong
Thinking Anglers Beaked Chod Hooks
The new Beaked Chod hook draws its design heritage from the popular TA Curve Point hook pattern.
By adjusting the eye of this awesome pattern and upping the wire gauge to make it utterly bulletproof, it’s now perfect for use in conjunction with fluorocarbon and specialized stiff hooklink materials.
Beaked Chod hooks have a multitude of uses, ranging from bottom bait, Multi-Rigs, and D-style presentations.
The 15° angled out-turned eye works perfectly with these tricky materials as it allows the hook to sit at a naturally aggressive and efficient angle and doesn’t restrict the hook’s generous gape.
The out-turned eye also helps to maintain the perfect alignment between the hooklink material and the hook point – that means that the hook is easier to fine-tune with rigs tied with these hooklink materials.
The Beaked Chod hook features a supremely sticky, long hook point, that just wants to snare and bury itself quickly, bedding deeply with minimal resistance thanks to the point’s tapered profile, the pattern’s positive angle of draw, and our ‘slippery’ PTFE coating.
Simply put, the overall shape and specification have been developed to work cohesively, to offer exceptional performance right from pricking/hooking to creating secure hook holds and ultimately staying securely in place until the carp has been successfully landed.
These hooks are forged from a super-strong, extra-heavy gauge wire, and were thoroughly tried and tested by us under extremely rigorous conditions prior to their public release.
Key features/specifications:
PTFE Coating for optimum penetration.
Strong double tempered heavy gauge high carbon steel.
Super sharp, beaked points.
15° out-turned eye.

Fox Edges Arma Point Stiff Rig 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.
Designed to meet the demands of anglers that prefer straight pointed hooks
Perfect for pop-up presentations such as Chod, Hinged Stiff and Multi rigs
Also suited to bottom bait stiff rig presentations

We took our most popular Wide Gape hook and made a few design tweaks. The result is our ultra sharp and strong Straight Point hook.
By elongating the shank we’ve made the Straight Point slightly longer than the Wide Gape and we’ve in turned the eye by 15 degrees. The biggest design feature, however, is the tapered, eye-wateringly sharp, straight point. The end result is creating one of the most versatile and efficient hooks we’ve ever made.
Strength and durability were also a key consideration when designing this hook. We’ve stepped up the gauge of the Japanese steel making this hook as strong as the other X gauge hooks in our range. It’s been forged and PTFE coated ensuring lasting durability whilst maintaining a razor-sharp point straight out of the packet.
The Straight Point’s versatility was a critical part of the design process. Whether you’re fishing pop-ups on Spinners or wafters on D-Rigs this hook has got you covered. They come with intermediate sizing and can be used for most modern carp rigs out there.
The Straight Points are available in sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 barbed and barbless and supplied in packs of 10.
