ESP Crygen claw-hammer barbless size 5

Description

The point length has been increased to mirror the hugely successful Trig and Chod Hammers, with the Claw-Hammers having a sweeping beaked point ideal for fishing over gravel and for assured hook holds in thick weed. These longer, finer points are incredibly sharp straight out of the packet and even previously ardent hook sharpeners like Gaz Fareham have been using these through the testing period without reaching for the file. On the two largest sizes 4 and 5 the wire gauge has been stepped up by 0.1mm for improved strength and the heavy forging helps accentuates this. However due to the point length to wire diameter ratio used the points are still long, fine and needle sharp. The twin tempering process of heat and cryogenic tempering ensures formidable strength and point durability with just the right degree of shock absorbing €˜spring€™ €“ neither too soft nor too brittle. As per all the other Cryogen hooks in the range, these feature a slick PTFE Tuflon coating and micro barbs which ensure excellent penetration and secure hook holds.

Enlarged eye diameters pro-rata across the range of sizes allow for thicker monofilaments to be used with the knotless knot.

Available in sizes 4,5,6,7 & 8 in barbed and barbless.
