Korda Hooks Range
Wide Gape
The Korda Wide Gape carp hook is based on the classic Maruta
Kinryu spade end hook.
The point is very slightly inturned so it still catches hold quickly but still
creates a very secure hook hold. The eye is inturned 15 degrees to flip the
hook over quickly. This is without doubt a modern day classic carp fishing
hook.
Wide Gape X
The Wide Gape X is a stepped up version of the original Wide
Gape. This super strong pattern is extremely reliable and perfect for big carp
in demanding situations. Featuring an advanced PTFE coating - the smoothest and
most durable finish available.
Mixa
The first dedicated floater fishing hook. These have been
specifically designed to hook even the shyest feeding carp on the surface. With
a short shank, wide gape, beaked offset point, they truly are made for the job.
The final most noticeable point about these hooks, are their sharpness;
hypodermic and piercing is the best possible explanation I can give. So much so
that the guys at Korda have been using them for all manner of carp fishing
situations. Korda’s Ali Hamidi commented; “They have been initially designed
for surface fishing, but great hook patterns like this, considering their
sharpness and characteristics lend themselves to lots of fishing scenarios.
They’ve been catching specimen Chub, Barbel and obviously loads of carp during
testing”.
Long Shank X
Longshank X Barbed is exactly the same pattern as the
Longshank but is two wire gauges heavier per size, this makes it considerably
stronger so it suits more demanding situations like fishing in heavy weed or
near snags. The point is still long and very sharp but the thicker wire means
the hook will take more punishment than its finer wire brother.
Kurv Shank
Carp find this pattern very tricky to eject due to its
curved shank, which drives into their bottom lip. It always flips when sucked
in and there is no need to add any shrink tubing due to its in-turned eye.
It can be used with a variety of presentations such as the blowback, KD rig and
many more. The point is very sharp and it is reliable and strong. A firm
favourite among some of the best carp anglers in the country. This hook pattern
is also a fantastic addition to the Mutli Rig. Rather than using a Choddy Hook,
you can incorporate a Kurv Shank. Due to the way that the rig is designed the
Kurv will sit like a claw and whichever way the carp sucks in the hook bait,
the point will be facing down ready to grab the bottom lip. A revolutionary
design!
Choddy
A hook designed to be incorporated with the popular chod rig
or hinged stiff rig presentation. The pattern features an out-turned eye and
the point is unbelievably sharp and reliable, retaining its sharpness in the
most demanding conditions. Anglers such as Jim Shelley and Nick Helleur swear
by this hook. They've literally taken waters apart using it, so get on it. Its
dull, anti-glare finish blends it in with the surroundings ensuring that you
won’t spook any passing fish. An absolute must for the avid stiff rig user. Due
to the wide gape in the pattern, it creates extremely secure hook holds as the
beaked point holds firm and doesn't twist and turn during the fight. A great
hook.

the step by step sequence on the popular chod rig.
Kontinental
A new super strong continental hook pattern based on the
classic Continental Boilie hook. This micro-barbed hook is perfect for fishing
in Europe and is also a good snag fishing hook.
XX Wide Gape & XX
Kurv Shank
Following the unprecedented success of the Wide Gape and
Kurv X patterns, which have accounted for many of the biggest fish in the
country since their launch, Korda have listened to the customer’s feedback and
developed an even stronger hook – the XX range. Designed for the most demanding
of situations, the XX hooks are two wire gauges heavier than the X models,
offering unsurpassed strength and durability for big fish anglers. The Kurv
Shank XX copies the original Kurv pattern that’s become a firm favourite of
many anglers, particularly when used on a KD rig or similar simple presentation
which allows the curved shank to turn the hook and ultra-sharp straight point
to do the rest. The Kurv Shank XX also features a 28-degree down-turned
eye to help turn the hook and convert pick-ups into takes, a micro barb and
durable PTFE coating that aids camouflage and keeps the point surgically sharp
for long periods. The Wide Gape pattern needs little introduction, having
been a firm favourite amongst many anglers across the UK and Europe since its
launch with its classic shape and reliable construction. The likes of Darrell
Peck, Elliott Gray and Danny Fairbrass are big fans of the patterns and it’s
accounted for huge carp at tricky venues across the UK and Europe.
With the launch of the XX model, this ultra-reliable, beaked-point pattern can
now be used for targeting the biggest carp in the world with confidence that it
won’t let you down, no matter how much pressure is put on the terminal tackle. Ideal
for blowback rigs, simple knotless knot presentations and multi rigs, the Wide
Gape XX is also two gauges heavier than the X model and is sure to be firm
favourite with anglers tackling seriously big carp in snaggy environments.
