This is the No.1 hook to use for fishing near snags
or in weed.
The original Talon Tip set the standard for beaked
point style hooks when it was released in 1996. In recent years there
has been a marked swing away from the offset shank that the original
hook featured, so at Gardner HQ they carefully scrutinised the features
that made the original hook so brilliant with a view to instilling these
positive design features in an updated version.
The application of the unique Covert finish reduces
glare and mimics predominant colours in the environment, offering
ultimate camouflage.
By removing the offset and incorporating a slightly
wider gape, whilst critically retaining the 5° in-turned eye and wicked
beaked point, they have come up with a hook pattern that has even
greater initial hooking and maintains the extraordinary penetration and
hook-holds of the original pattern. The way in which the hook penetrates
as it is pulled in by the directional force created by the hook eye is
simply perfect…
When they removed the offset of the original pattern
they also improved the hook’s ability to ‘prick’ the instant the hook
bait is taken, and it is such a versatile pattern it works with a
massive range of rigs.
The main advantage of a beaked point is that when
the point first takes hold and starts to grip, it helps keep the hook in
position effectively even if the fish is trying to shake the rig free
(useful if you’re angling on a barbless rules venue) and just pulls in
more and grips tighter. Another benefit is that the point is less likely
to be turned over or damaged when you are fishing over gravel or other
rough types of lake bed – typically big stones…
Wide Gape Talon Tips are manufactured from the same
‘bomb proof’ ultra-strong forged wire of the original so you can be
absolutely certain that the strength is unparalleled across the size
ranges, ensuring this hook can used confidently in the most extreme
fishing situations – fishing for the biggest fish in weed or near snags.
