This is a really classic pattern of hook and the Wide Gape has accounted for a huge

The Wide Gape pattern has accounted for countless big carp captures over many years since it was first launched. Born from an old classic spade end hook pattern from the 1980s and 1990s which found favour with many anglers at the time – the Maruta Kinryu. We improved it and made it more user-friendly by switching the spade for an eye.

The Wide Gape features a slightly in-turned eye, with a short shank, heavily forged bend and a very sharp, 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.

This XX variant is the strongest in the range and was built for those taking things to the extreme. Whether you’re out on Lac Du Der or Rainbow fishing for monsters amongst tree roots or targeting huge Siamese carp or Mekong catfish in Thailand, this XX version won’t let you down. There really is a Wide Gape hook for every situation; one pattern, multiple fishing situations.

Available in sizes 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8, in barbed only.
