Korda straight point hook 5

A detailed look at the design tweaks that we have made to the incredibly popular Wide Gape pattern to produce a version with a straight point

The Wide Gape pattern of hook has been part of the Korda range for over 20 years and was one of the first products that Damian Clarke worked on at the company.

Despite a number of other patterns being added over the years since then, to cover all sorts of different rigs, presentations, or even angler preferences, as everyone has their own idea as to what makes the perfect hook, it is just as popular today as it has always been and is still a favourite of Damian, plus other top Team Korda anglers, such as Darrell Peck.

The Wide Gape has been used to land countless big carp, both in the UK and abroad, and whilst that exact pattern doesn’t need any improvement, we do like to listen to anglers, and have made a few design tweaks to come up with a completely new pattern in the form of the Straight Point.
