The Korda Kamakura Krank Barbless Size 4 hook is the pinnacle of hook technology, offering an ultra-sharp point that rivals hand-sharpened hooks but without the extra effort. These hooks feature the unique Krank design, characterized by a wide gape, short curved shank, and a slightly in-turned eye. This design ensures that the hook turns effectively in the fish’s mouth, securing a strong hold. The Kamakura sharpening process ensures each hook is razor-sharp right out of the box, making them ideal for a variety of rig setups, from simple knotless knots to more advanced rigs like the Spinner Rig.
Key Features:
-
Kamakura Sharpening Process: The Kamakura Krank hooks are precision-sharpened using Korda's advanced Kamakura process, producing an ultra-sharp point that is comparable to hand-sharpened hooks. This ensures the highest level of sharpness and penetration with every hook.
-
Unique Krank Design: The Krank pattern is known for its wide gape, short curved shank, and in-turned eye, which work together to create a hook that easily finds a hold and stays securely in place. The slightly offset, beaked point is designed to ‘Krank’ into position as soon as the fish takes the bait, ensuring a strong hook hold.
-

-
Protected Hook Points: Each Kamakura Krank hook is supplied with a protective blob of wax over the point to ensure it remains sharp until you’re ready to use it. This feature helps maintain the hook’s razor-sharpness during storage and transport.
-
Supplied in Secure Box: The Kamakura Krank Barbless Size 4 hooks come in a secure box that holds each hook in place, preventing any accidental damage to the points. Each box contains ten hooks, ensuring you have plenty of spares for your fishing sessions.
