Micro-barbed · Sizes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
A beefy-looking carp pattern with a fine point, enlarged eye and useful in-between sizes. The Slammer gives you plenty to work with, provided you match it to the bait rather than just reaching for the biggest hook.

A wide gape, subtly curved shank and fine needle point make the Trig-Hammer an interesting choice for Ronnie rigs and bottom-bait presentations. Just give that longer profile room to work.

Sizes 1, 2, 4 and 6 · 10 hooks per packet
Wide gape, an out-turned eye and sizes for small soft lures. These are purpose-made perch hooks, but matching the hook to your bait still matters more than the name on the packet.

Specimen — bronze, micro-barbed

The Mugga has been one of carp fishing's most trusted hook shapes for years, and Gardner's Covert Dark version carries it forward with a re-profiled point, a stripped-down matt finish and a micro barb, aimed at anglers who want a reliable flipping action out of the packet.
