KORDA KRANK X HOOKS

The Korda Krank X Hook is the heavy-duty, stepped-up version of Tom Dove’s immensely successful Krank pattern. This pattern has been a huge seller since 2014, accounting for countless big fish worldwide, including monsters well over 100lb in Thailand. The ‘X’ designation means this hook is built for very weedy or snaggy conditions and more extreme continental waters.

The Krank X retains the unique, aggressive geometry that makes the pattern so effective: a very wide gape, a short, curved shank, and a slightly in-turned eye. The point is slightly beaked and offset, helping the hook to ‘Krank’ (turn) aggressively upon resistance, driving the point home securely. These hooks are very strong due to the thicker wire gauge, and feature a micro barb which ensures the hook stays locked in place once set. The Krank X is incredibly versatile, performing flawlessly with a simple knotless knot and proving perfect for complex setups like the Spinner Rig favoured by Tom Dove. A barbless version is also available. Each packet contains ten hooks.
