Is there a good hook out there??
Ive been using korums because of the whole eye. But after a chub or two? i feel the hook looses its sharpness.
What brand do you use ? happy with it ??

cheers jamie
 
i used to use korum s3s but had some bend on me then i used the s5 which are strong but i just didnt like the hook pattern.
i know use esp raptors and pallatrax the hook. and i love both they are great hooks
 
Still loving Nash Fang Gapers despite the price hike that has happened after a re-packaging job. They also seem to have altered the sizing a little too. Still as happy with the new ones as I was with the old though.
 
Been using Korda Wide Gape X the last year and I like them, very sharp, very strong and no shine............
 
Still using the JRC MBT 4 and occasionally the Korda Choddy, but the JRC is my favorite and has been for over three seasons now. No reason to change it.;)
 
Korda Wide Gape X AND Pallatrax the hook both solid never let us down and made sure i got lots of stock as you never know.

Korda wide gapes for me too. Giving the new choddy hook a go this season too. Does anyone have any views on the drennan barbel hook? I've never had any problem with them but I know some people don't trust them.

Cheers

Pallatrax The Hook for me.
 
ESP Raptors - never lost a fish on them - and VERY sharp!
 
The Raptor T6 for little ol me:)
 
Korum wide gape x for me. They stay sharper than other hooks i have used. Bought some Atomic Claw hooks a while ago, and even though the points turn inwards the points are too thin and as a result tend to go blunt fairly easily.
