Hooks
ESP - Cryogen Para-Point Hooks
The long, fine needle sharp point, further enhanced by the slick Tufflon coating ensures excellent hook holds and the straight eye allows this pattern to be highly versatile as a bottom bait or pop up hook, with or without a kicker. The straight eye makes it especially effective for a Tungsten Loaded 'D-Rig' where the straight eye acts to increase the gape. The 'Para' has already become a real favourite amongst our testers and looks set to be the 'go to' all-rounder for years to come.
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.
ESP - Cryogen Stiff Rigger Hooks
Compared 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!
Korda - Mixa Surface Hook
The final most noticeable point about these hooks is their sharpness; positively hypodermic is the best possible description. The guys at Korda have been using them for all manner of carp fishing situations as Ali Hamidi explained, “They were initially designed for surface fishing, but great hook patterns like this, considering their sharpness and characteristics lend themselves to lots of fishing scenarios. They’ve been catching specimen chub, barbel and obviously loads of carp during testing”. The Mixa hook is available in sizes 6, 8, 10 & 12.
Korda - Krank Choddy Hooks
Just like the standard Krank hooks, the Krank Choddy has a beaked point and slight offset that combine to offer unrivalled hook hold security. They can of course be used with unstripped, coated braid or mono hook links to produce effective bottom-bait rigs too!
Korda - Krank X Hooks
The original Krank hook pattern, devised by Tom Dove, has been so successful, it seemed only right to add to the family. The latest addition comes in the formidable shape of the Krank X, which is exactly the same as the Krank, but is made from a thicker, stronger wire, which means that it's perfect for more extreme fishing conditions.
Korda - Krank Hooks
The Krank is a unique design with a very large wide gape, beaked point and a sweeping offset curved shank. Perfect for rigs like the KD and the simple knotless knot. Barbed or Barbless. Pack of 10.
Korda - Choddy Hooks
Fine gauge hook, straight shank with a slightly bent eye and an in-turned hook point, chemically sharpened and teflon coated, the newest specialist pop up rig hook on the market, tried and tested by the Korda team, a revolutionary turn in Pop up hooks.
Korda - Kurv Shank XX Hooks
The Kurv Shank XX is 2 wire gauges thicker than the original and copies the original Kurv pattern that’s become a firm favourite of many anglers, particularly when used on a KD rig or similar simple presentation which allows the curved shank to turn the hook and ultra-sharp straight point to do the rest.
Korda - Kurv Shank Hooks
The Kurv Shank Bs are unbelievably versatile and can be used with an array of rigs including the blowback, KD or standard bottom bait. If your water doesn't allow barbed hooks, this is the pattern for you!
Korda - Wide Gape XX Hooks
The Wide Gape XX is two wire gauges higher than the standard Wide Gape and has been designed, developed and tested for use in the most demanding of fishing situations in the world! All of the dimensions that have made the Wide Gape a classic pattern are mirrored exactly in the XX version, so you know that these hooks are proven, as well as super-strong.
Korda Wide Gape X Hooks
The Wide Gape X is a beefed-up version of the Wide Gape, designed for use in the most extreme fishing situations on the Planet. It's been road-tested on infamously snaggy waters, like Rainbow Lake, and has even been used to land monster species like Arapaima and Mekong Catfish. Just like it's little brother, the Wide Gape X is suited to both pop-up and bottom-bait presentations. The heavily forged, square bend, beaked point and in-turned eye combine to make sure that you land that elusive monster, whether you're fishing a hard syndicate in the UK, or dodging tree stumps on some Continental super-water.
