Korda Wide Gape Hooks
The Korda Wide Gape Hooks are among the most popular in the Korda range, known for their versatility and reliability. These hooks are designed with a slightly curved shank and a beaked point, which helps improve hook holds and reduce hook pulls. The wide gape offers a larger area for the hook to catch, making it ideal for use with a variety of baits, including boilies, pop-ups, and particles. Whether you’re fishing on the bottom or using a pop-up rig, the Wide Gape hook is a solid choice that works well in many different scenarios.
- Best For: Versatile use with bottom baits, pop-ups, and particles.
- Features: Curved shank, beaked point, and a wide gape for secure hook holds.
Korda Krank Hooks
Korda Krank Hooks are specifically designed to offer a unique hooking angle, thanks to their offset point and curved shank. This design makes the Krank particularly effective at turning in the fish’s mouth and ensuring a solid hook hold. The aggressive shape of the hook makes it perfect for use with bottom baits and wafters, as it ensures quick penetration. It’s an excellent choice for anglers looking for a hook that offers both a strong hold and a high success rate in converting bites into hooked fish.
- Best For: Bottom baits and wafters.
- Features: Offset point and curved shank for a unique hooking angle and strong hold.
Korda Choddy Hooks
Korda Choddy Hooks are purpose-built for chod and stiff-hinged rigs. These hooks feature an out-turned eye, which is specifically designed to allow for a more natural presentation of stiff materials, like chod filament. The Choddy Hook’s design ensures that it sits perfectly on a variety of chod rigs, allowing for optimum hooking potential. The slightly curved shank and wide gape make this hook extremely effective at catching in the fish’s mouth, particularly when fishing over weed or silt.
- Best For: Chod rigs and stiff-hinged rigs.
- Features: Out-turned eye, curved shank, and wide gape for optimal rig performance.
Korda Kurv Shank Hooks
The Korda Kurv Shank Hooks are one of the most versatile hooks in the Korda lineup, featuring a curved shank that makes them perfect for a wide range of rigs. The curved shank helps the hook to turn quickly in the fish’s mouth, ensuring a solid hook hold. These hooks are excellent for use with both bottom baits and pop-ups, and they work particularly well in combination with KD rigs, blowback rigs, and other aggressive setups. The Kurv Shank is known for its ability to hook fish in the bottom lip, which is often the most secure place.
- Best For: Versatile use, including bottom baits, pop-ups, KD rigs, and blowback rigs.
- Features: Curved shank for quick hook turns and reliable hook holds.
Korda Long Shank X Hooks
Korda Long Shank X Hooks are designed with an extended shank, making them ideal for rigs that require a longer hook, such as the classic long-shank rig or D-rig. The long shank increases the hook’s ability to catch hold in the fish’s mouth, while the beaked point helps to secure the hook hold. These hooks are particularly effective when fishing over clear bottoms where the hook can be carefully presented. The Long Shank X is also favored by anglers who target larger, more cautious carp, as the extended shank can help avoid spooking the fish.
- Best For: Long-shank rigs, D-rigs, and targeting larger carp.
- Features: Extended shank and beaked point for better hook holds and secure presentation.
Korda Mixa Hooks
The Korda Mixa Hooks are designed specifically for surface fishing. These hooks feature a shorter shank and a wide gape, which provides a better hook hold when surface fishing with floating baits. The razor-sharp point ensures quick penetration, and the short shank minimizes the chances of fish shaking the hook free during the fight. Mixa Hooks are perfect for use with dog biscuits, bread, or any other surface bait. They are a go-to choice for anglers who enjoy the excitement of surface fishing, particularly during the warmer months.
- Best For: Surface fishing with floating baits.
- Features: Short shank, wide gape, and razor-sharp point for effective surface fishing.
Korda Continental Wide Gape Hooks
The Korda Continental Wide Gape Hooks are designed for the angler who targets large, powerful carp in challenging conditions. These hooks are made from a thicker wire gauge, making them incredibly strong and durable, which is essential when fishing in snaggy or weedy waters. The wide gape and beaked point ensure a solid hook hold, while the thicker gauge provides the strength needed to handle hard-fighting fish. The Continental Wide Gape is ideal for use with heavy-duty rigs and when fishing in demanding environments.
- Best For: Targeting large carp in snaggy or weedy conditions.
- Features: Thicker wire gauge, wide gape, and beaked point for maximum strength and durability.
Korda Curve Shank B Hooks
The Korda Curve Shank B Hooks are a variation of the Kurv Shank, designed specifically for use with fluorocarbon or mono rigs. These hooks feature a shorter curved shank and a slightly wider gape, making them ideal for Ronnie rigs or other setups where a quick hook turn is crucial. The Curve Shank B’s design allows for a strong hook hold with minimal movement, making it perfect for fooling wary fish. It’s a great choice for anglers who prefer using stiff materials in their rig setups.
- Best For: Fluorocarbon or mono rigs, especially Ronnie rigs.
- Features: Short curved shank, wide gape, and a design optimized for quick hook turns.
Korda’s range of hooks is designed to cover a wide variety of fishing situations, ensuring that you have the right hook for the job, whether you’re targeting carp in challenging conditions or fishing on the surface during summer.
