Just received my order of Xpert Power in sizes 12, 14, 16. They look the business, time will tell when I get a chance to try them out!

Any one know of any tackle shops that have the new Korum hooks in stock yet. I need new hooks but would like to try these and at the price I'm willing to wait a little while.

I foolishly bought some of the specialist variety the other week. I haven't used them yet but the wire seems pretty thin and the eye isn't large enough for line to pass twice through. I guess they'll come in handy, but perhaps not for barbel. Shame I bought four packets.
Nice write up, Steve. And well done with the prolific catch rate.
After using the Xpert Power hooks for a couple of weeks now I've decided they aren't really man enough for barbel, just a little too thin in the wire. Twice now I've had to discard a hook after landing 3 or 4 fish as they were starting to open out, still nice and sharp though.
Also had a rig that frayed through the braid where it came through the eye, never had that happen with T6 Raptors, don't know if it was a poorly finished eye or just a sharp edge to the wire.
Nice hooks for the money, but I think I'll save them for chubbing!
