Heavily influenced by his underwater experiences, Dan decided to make two major changes to one of his favourite patterns, making it an even deadlier option within his armoury.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first change was to create the hook with a beaked point. During testing, the beaked point provided more secure hook holds, increasing the hooked fish to landed ratio significantly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe other change was to in-turn the eye even further. The original pattern has a 20 degree in-turned eye, the new beaked version increases this to 40 degrees. This helps the hook flip and turn extremely quickly in the carp’s mouth, ensuring consistently good hook-holds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn keeping with the original pattern, the Longshank Beaked is forged, with a stepped-up wire gauge for extra strength, whilst maintaining its durability with a PTFE coating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8, barbed and barbless, with ten hooks per pack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeveloped by DF\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeaked point\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e40 degree in-turned eye\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtremely strong\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePTFE coated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Korda","offers":[{"title":"4 Micro Barbed","offer_id":67632674930842,"sku":"5.06093E+12","price":5.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Micro Barbed","offer_id":67632674963610,"sku":"5.06093E+12","price":5.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Barbless","offer_id":67632674996378,"sku":"5.06093E+12","price":5.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Barbless","offer_id":67632675029146,"sku":"5.06093E+12","price":5.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/9568\/9626\/files\/korda-longshank-beaked-hook-13.webp?v=1790821035","url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/korda-longshank-beaked-hooks","provider":"ELMBER TRADE LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
