The ESP Claw Hammer is a remarkable addition to any angler’s tackle box. Specifically designed for fishing over gravel and achieving secure hook holds in thick weed, this hook features a sweeping beaked point. It’s the perfect choice for anglers using bottom bait combi or flipper-type rigs, ensuring confidence in hooking success.
During extensive field testing spanning 12 months, this wide gape pattern proved its mettle by accounting for numerous big carp. Notably, these hooks arrive incredibly sharp right out of the packet, impressing even ardent hook sharpeners like Gaz Fareham, who found no need to reach for their files.
The ESP Claw Hammer boasts a slick PTFE Tuflon coating and micro barbs, ensuring excellent penetration. Furthermore, the two largest sizes have been enhanced with a 0.1mm increase in wire gauge, elevating their strength to even greater heights. Despite these improvements, the point length to wire diameter ratio remains optimal, delivering long, fine, and needle-sharp points.
To further enhance durability, these hooks undergo a twin process of heat and cryogenic tempering, resulting in formidable strength and lasting point sharpness. They strike the right balance between being neither too soft nor too brittle, providing the ideal degree of shock-absorbing “spring.”
Enlarged eye diameters accommodate thicker monofilaments when using the knotless knot, allowing for versatile rig setups. In summary, the ESP Claw Hammer is a hook that blends innovation, strength, and sharpness, making it a top choice for anglers seeking reliable and efficient performance on the water.
