ESP Cryogen Trig Hammer Carp Hooks are the result of years of meticulous development and field testing, offering an exceptional combination of strength, sharpness, and hooking efficiency. These hooks have been crafted using ESP’s renowned twin tempering process, ensuring they are both ultra-strong and incredibly durable, making them a must-have for serious carp anglers.
Aggressive Design for Secure Hook Holds:
The Trig Hammer hooks feature an innovative long shank design with a subtle curve, combined with a 9° in-turned eye and a wide gape. This unique shape ensures that the hook flips and pricks instantly, making it incredibly difficult for carp to eject once hooked. The long, hypodermic-like needle point is ultra-sharp and provides secure hook holds, even in the most challenging conditions.
Perfect for Ronnie Rigs and Bottom Bait Rigs:
These hooks excel on Ronnie rigs, where the aggressive hook point position ensures efficient hooking and superb hook holds. The Trig Hammer is equally effective on bottom bait rigs, where its design allows it to turn and catch hold securely without the need for additional components like line aligners or kickers. This makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of rig setups.
Cryogenically Tempered for Exceptional Strength:
ESP’s Cryogen hooks are known for their strength, and the Trig Hammer is no exception. The twin tempering process used in their manufacture results in hooks that are incredibly strong, with ultra-durable points that maintain their sharpness session after session. This cryogenic treatment enhances the molecular structure of the steel, providing an unmatched balance of strength and flexibility.
Available in Barbed and Barbless Options:
The Trig Hammer hooks are available in both barbed and barbless versions, catering to different fishing scenarios and personal preferences. The barbless option is perfect for venues where barbed hooks are prohibited or for anglers who prefer a more fish-friendly approach. Both versions are available in a range of sizes, including 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, allowing you to choose the perfect hook size for your specific fishing needs.
Tufflon Coating for Reduced Visibility and Increased Durability:
These hooks are finished with a Tufflon coating, which not only reduces their visibility underwater but also enhances their durability. The coating helps to protect the hook from corrosion and wear, ensuring that they remain in top condition even after extended use in tough conditions.
