The XXX GAPE Hook within the Advanced Angling Solutions Predator Carp Hook Range has all the key features of the
leading Large Gape hooks on the market with a few subtle improvements. The hooks themselves have all the characteristic
key features such as a 10 degree down turned eye and a point which is slightly in turned toward the shank. These features
help with both hooking and holding an improve general hook strength by reducing any tendency to gape. The XXX Gape
Hook is designed from the latest cutting edge, low friction coating technology. They are unrivalled for strength, sharpness
and durability. The XXX Gape Hook is the hook to use if you are looking for an edge when using subtle rigs, in particular
with short hook link, short hair-rig presentation. The extra wide gape, ultra short shank, 10 degree down turned eye and
in turned point nails them every time.
The eye is in-turned 10-degrees to flip the hook over quickly and with the addition of shrink tubing makes it even more
effective.
This is a modern day classic without doubt.
The XXX Gape Hook is designed from the latest cutting edge, low friction coating technology. Produced in super high
carbon steel, the pattern is medium heavy forged for maximum strength and has a non-glare, ultra slick PTFE finish for
improved durability. This PTFE treatment makes the surface of the hook noticeably smoother. In turn, this aids
penetration and also prevents the hook from rusting. Consequently, this makes them last an awful lot longer. Not only
this, it also camouflages them into the lake bed. Having seen how the carp react towards your end tackle, removing the
glint from your hook is imperative in inducing consistent takes. All the Advanced Angling Solutions Predator Hook Range
go through an advanced tempering system. Every hook is heated to the exact temperature that is perfect for that
particular style and size then cooled in oil. This process produces hooks which are super strong, but not brittle.Then and
perhaps most importantly, their sharpening process is state of the art, and results in a perfectly conical points that is
unequalled in sharpness.
The entire range uses a dull, matt coating, in the original dark slate grey colouring.
This pattern can be used it for a number of presentations, whether that's boilie, particle fishing or floater
fishing. Carp find this pattern very tricky to eject due to its properties which drives centrally into their bottom lip.
The XXX Gape Hook can be relied upon to turn over and provide a secure, correctly located hook hold virtually every
time.
