- This is a really classic pattern of hook and the Wide Gape has accounted for a huge number of big carp captures over the many years since it was first launched
- It is based on an old classic spade end hook pattern from the 1980s and 1990s which found favour with many anglers at the time – the Maruta Kinryu – but we have 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 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. For those fishing in snaggy conditions in the UK or for overseas fishing
- There is also a Wide Gape X version. Or really extreme circumstances overseas – including when targeting huge Siamese carp or Mekong catfish in Thailand – there is an even heavier duty Wide Gape XX version
- For waters where barbed hooks are banned, the barbless Wide Gape B is perfect
- All come in packs of ten, with the Wide Gape’s coming in various sizes

- Classic hook pattern
