ESP Cryogen Trig-Hammer Barbless Hooks
New

A new long shank pattern that has proved outstanding during field testing. Ultra-sharp, long fine needle points combined with an aggressive shape that achieves incredibly secure hook holds.

Especially affective on Ronnie’s and also bottom bait rigs where it ‘flips and pricks’ instantly.

Available in barbed and barbless in sizes 4, 6, & 8 and made using the same twin tempering process as the existing Cryogen hooks which results in exceptional strength and point durability.


The relative proportions of a long subtly curved shank, 9° in-turned eye, wide gape and long hypodermic like point result in a hook pattern that is incredibly effective. On Ronnie rigs the hook point is in an aggressive poised position making it a very efficient hooker with superb hook holds and it is equally effective on bottom bait rigs, where the hook is very difficult to eject and turns and catches hold securely even without the aid of a line aligner or ‘kicker’.

RICKS RIGZ BUYING GUIDE

Choosing Your Ready Made Carp Rig

Use this guide to select the most suitable hook, hooklink, bait attachment and end connection for your fishing situation.

01

Choose the Hook Size

Match the hook size to your hook bait, target fish and fishery rules. Larger hooks can suit bigger baits, while smaller hooks provide a more discreet presentation.

02

Select a Hook Pattern

Wide gape, curve shank, crank and claw-style patterns offer different turning and holding characteristics. Choose the pattern that best suits your preferred presentation.

03

Choose the Hooklink or Boom

Shorter hooklinks create a compact presentation, while longer hooklinks provide greater separation and may suit softer lakebeds or more cautious carp.

04

Select the Bait Attachment

Bait screws make hook-bait changes quick, rig rings provide a traditional attachment and micro ring swivels allow greater freedom of movement.

05

Barbless or Micro-Barbed

Always check the rules of the fishery before selecting your hook type. Some waters require barbless hooks, while others permit micro-barbed patterns.

06

Check Before Casting

Check the hook point, knots, crimps and hooklink for damage before every cast. Replace any rig that appears blunt, kinked or weakened.

Rig selection tip: Match the rig to the hook bait, lakebed and fishing conditions rather than choosing solely by appearance.
