Description
Korda Wide Gape
Korda Wide Gape hooks are designed for versatility and effectiveness in a variety of fishing scenarios. Known for their strong hold and excellent hooking potential, these hooks are a staple in many anglers’ tackle boxes.
- Versatile Design: The Korda Wide Gape features a slightly in-turned eye and a short shank, making it ideal for a wide range of rigs, including bottom bait, pop-up, and even some advanced presentations like the KD rig.
- Super Sharp Point: These hooks are designed with a needle-sharp point that ensures quick penetration, increasing the chances of a secure hook hold.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade carbon steel, these hooks are strong enough to handle the pressure of large, hard-fighting fish.
- Coated Finish: The hooks feature a non-reflective PTFE coating, which adds to their durability and reduces glare, helping them blend into the environment and avoid spooking fish.
Korda Wide Gape X
Korda Wide Gape X is the beefed-up version of the original Wide Gape hook, designed to handle the toughest fishing conditions and the largest carp.
- Extra Strength: The Wide Gape X is made from a thicker gauge wire, making it perfect for fishing in snaggy areas or when targeting particularly powerful fish.
- Retains All Key Features: Despite its increased strength, this hook retains the sharpness, short shank, and in-turned eye of the original Wide Gape, ensuring effective hook holds.
- Ideal for Heavy-Duty Rigs: This hook is particularly suited for fishing with heavier lines and stronger rigs, where a more robust hook is required.
Korda Kurv Shank
Korda Kurv Shank hooks are known for their curved shank design, which is highly effective at turning the hook quickly in the fish’s mouth, leading to more secure hook holds.
- Curved Shank Design: The distinctive curved shank helps the hook turn aggressively when the bait is taken, making it ideal for use in rigs like the KD rig or the blowback rig.
- Versatile Use: These hooks are suitable for both bottom bait and pop-up presentations, offering flexibility in your rig choices.
- Strong and Sharp: Like all Korda hooks, the Kurv Shank is made from high-quality materials and features a super sharp point for reliable hook holds.
Korda Choddy Micro Barbed
Korda Choddy Micro Barbed hooks are specifically designed for chod rigs and other stiff rig presentations. Their design ensures that they remain effective even when fished over weed or silt.
- Out-Turned Eye: The out-turned eye of the Choddy hook is perfect for stiff materials, allowing the hook to sit at the correct angle for optimum hooking potential.
- Micro Barbed: The micro barbed version provides a secure hook hold while still being easier to remove, minimizing damage to the fish.
- Stiff Rig Specialist: These hooks are ideal for use with chod rigs, hinged stiff rigs, and other presentations where a stiff hooklink material is used.
Korda Krank
Korda Krank hooks combine elements of wide gape hooks with a curved shank to create a unique and highly effective hook design.
- Hybrid Design: The Krank hook features a wide gape and an offset, curved shank that makes it highly effective at hooking fish. It’s particularly well-suited for use with both bottom bait and pop-up rigs.
- Aggressive Hooking Angle: The shape of the Krank hook ensures that it turns aggressively in the fish’s mouth, leading to more secure hook holds.
- Versatile and Reliable: This hook can be used in a variety of rig setups, making it a versatile addition to any tackle box.
Korda Mixa
Korda Mixa hooks are specifically designed for surface fishing and floater rigs, offering the perfect balance of sharpness, strength, and discreet presentation.
- Specialized for Surface Fishing: The Mixa hook is designed with surface fishing in mind, featuring a lightweight and thin gauge wire to ensure that it sits lightly on or near the water surface.
- Wide Gape: The wide gape design enhances hooking potential, making it easier to secure fish that are feeding off the surface.
- Super Sharp: As with all Korda hooks, the Mixa is extremely sharp, ensuring that even the lightest takes result in a secure hook hold.
Korda Spinner
Korda Spinner hooks are optimized for use in the Spinner Rig (Ronnie Rig), known for their versatility and high hooking efficiency.
- Swivel Attachment: The design allows for quick and easy attachment to a swivel, making it ideal for the popular Spinner Rig setup.
- Aggressive Hooking Potential: The hook’s shape and swivel attachment allow it to spin freely, ensuring that it turns and hooks effectively every time.
- Reliable and Durable: Built to withstand the rigors of intense fishing, the Korda Spinner hook is a reliable choice for anglers using advanced rig setups.
Korda Longshank Beaked
Korda Longshank Beaked hooks are designed for anglers who prefer a longer hook shank and beaked point, offering excellent hooking potential and security.
- Long Shank Design: The long shank provides an extended reach, making it easier to hook fish that cautiously approach the bait. It’s particularly effective in rigs designed to fool wary fish.
- Beaked Point: The beaked point helps to reduce hook pulls, as it is less likely to be dislodged once it penetrates the fish’s mouth.
- Ideal for Bottom Bait Rigs: This hook is especially suited for bottom bait rigs, where a secure hook hold is essential.
