ESP Cryogen Stiff Rigger Barbless

The ESP Cryogen Stiff Rigger Barbless hook is a meticulously refined hook pattern designed specifically for hinged stiff rig and chod rig presentations. This legendary hook has been further improved to offer unmatched performance and reliability.

Key Features:

• Super Sharp Point:

  • The super sharp point is longer, finer, and more inclined towards the shank for enhanced strength and penetration.
  • The point is in-line with the 13-degree out-turned eye, ensuring that all force is directed straight along the point section of the hook, rather than across the gape, resulting in exceptional strength.

• Durable Construction:

  • Heavy forging and PTFE Tufflon coating enhance the hook's durability and strength without increasing the wire gauge, maintaining a fine, ultra-sharp needle point.
  • New manufacturing techniques, including both high-temperature and cryogenic tempering, significantly improve the hook's molecular structure, reducing stress and enhancing strength and wear resistance.

• Cryogenic Tempering:

  • Cryogenic tempering improves the molecular structure of the steel, reducing stress and increasing strength and wear resistance. This process, used in high-performance applications such as Formula 1 engine parts, ensures that the hooks are incredibly strong and durable.

• Bench Test Results:

  • Bench tests on initial samples showed that the new tempering processes, combined with improved designs and heavy forging, resulted in hooks that are 25-30% stronger than other Tufflon coated carp hooks of the same wire gauge.
  • The strength improvement allows for maintaining optimum wire gauges for each size, resulting in fine, ultra-sharp needle points that are more durable than ever.

• Legendary Hook Pattern:

  • This hook pattern is the go-to choice for anglers who prefer hinged stiff rigs and chod rigs, offering unmatched performance and reliability.

Summary:

The ESP Cryogen Stiff Rigger Barbless hook is an exceptional choice for anglers looking for a high-performance, reliable hook for hinged stiff rig and chod rig presentations. With a super sharp, fine point and a 13-degree out-turned eye, this hook offers superior strength and penetration. The heavy forging and PTFE Tufflon coating ensure durability, while the cryogenic tempering process significantly enhances the hook's strength and wear resistance. Bench tests have shown a 25-30% improvement in strength compared to other Tufflon coated hooks of the same wire gauge, making this the perfect pop-up hook for serious anglers.
