The Curve Shank Hook within the Advanced Angling Solutions Predator Carp Hook Range has all the key features of the
leading Curve Shank Hooks on the market with a few subtle improvements. The hooks themselves have all the
characteristic key features such as The long, straight needle point which is exceptionally sharp and combines with the low
profile micro barb to aid penetration. The Curve Shank Hooks have a precise contour and down-turned eye which
continues this perfect curve.
The curve shank 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.
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 Multi Rig. Rather than using a Choddy Hook, you can incorporate a
Curve Shank. Due to the way that the rig is designed the curve 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.
When tied to a flexible link such as soft braid or a stripped portion of coated Dyneema, they can be relied upon to turn
over and provide a secure, correctly located hook hold virtually every time.
