ESP Cryogen Claw Hammer 8 barbless

Claw-Hammers have a sweeping beaked point ideal for fishing over gravel and for assured hook holds in thick weed. Perfect when used with bottom bait combi / flipper type rigs.

With longer, finer points this wide gape pattern accounted for a lot of big carp over 12 months of field testing! Incredibly sharp straight out of the packet, ardent hook sharpeners like Gaz Fareham have been testing without reaching for the file. Together with a slick PTFE Tuflon coating and micro barbs these ensure excellent penetration.

The wire gauge has been stepped up on the two largest sizes by 0.1mm and heavy forging improves strength even further. The point length to wire diameter ratio ensures the points are still long, fine and needle sharp! The twin 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.

Enlarged eye diameters allow for thicker monofilaments to be used with the knotless knot.
