Korda Kamakura Wide Gape X

The Kamakura process ensures a hook point that is every bit as good as one that has been hand-sharpened, without putting in the time and effort needed to do it yourself – you can be confident that these hooks are perfect every time you take them out of the box. The Kamakura Wide Gape X is a beefed-up version of the classic pattern, with a thicker wire gauge, but with a far sharper and thinner point than the standard ‘X’ hook – you are likely to need to change your hook after every fish caught due to the super sharp point. It features a slightly in-turned eye, with a short shank, heavily forged bend and a beaked point. It can be used with a wide variety of different pop-up and bottom bait presentations, and once it goes in it tends to stay in. The points are protected by a wax blob which needs to be carefully removed prior to use. The hooks are supplied in a box that securely holds each individual hook in place. You get 10 hooks in each box. Barbed and barbless versions are available in sizes 4, 6 or 8.
