  • 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 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 Teflon 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!
    Initially there are three patterns in the range comprising the Classic, Gripper and Stiff Rigger.
    Classic
    This hook is a result of taking the existing Big-T pattern and improving and refining it to create a better, stronger shape. 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 Teflon 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.
    Available in barbed sizes 4, 6, 7, 8, 10.
    Gripper
    This pattern is the culmination of striving to design the perfect all round beaked point carp hook. The Gripper was subject to various design tweaks through the development process and the end result was well worth waiting for! The super fine, long curved point is the perfect shape and during testing, provided exceptionally secure hook holds. Other features include a 10-degree in-turned eye (slightly less than the Classic to allow for the inclined beaked point), heavy forging, micro barb and of course, the slick PTFE Teflon coating.
    Available in barbed sizes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
    Stiff Rigger
    This legendary hook pattern has been further refined and improved to make it the go-to hook for hinged stiff rig and chod rig presentations. 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!
    Available in barbed sizes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

    I'm really impressed with these hooks. I've mainly used the Gripper in a size 4. Best I've used by a long way and the point durability is excellent. Uber sharp out the packet and they re-sharpen a treat too. Excellent work lads!

    I use the same hook a lot ,if your fishing old estate lakes with silt ,your fine to use the same hook on more than one fish.These guys want you to buy more hooks,its there job.Test it on your nail ,if it grabs straight away re use it.On a venue where your fishing for skittish shy fish ,that one take a week or month ,i would all ways put a new hook on after each fish,Gravel pits.Sometimes its best to use rig form so your not dinking that point on any gravel.Last think you want is the target fish getting away with a take ,because the hook was not sharp enough.Acer me though or Nash ,but not tried these yet.I'm funny about hooks.And its low stock large pits i fish,so i can't seem to kick my self into trying a new hook out.Korda hooks are a waste of time,You think there sharp thats until you try a hook like acer or ,nash

    Most of these hooks are blunt straight out of the packet but when ive sharpened them theyve stayed sharp and i had 4 carp on the same hook it was a size 5 stiff rigger. ive only ever very slighty bent out a stiff rigger once but that was in a really snaggy place. the only thing id change about these hooks is the stiff riggers need to have a more out turned eye because when i tighten my knot down the chod filiment gets thinned and weakened
