Description
The Klor hook pattern was designed and created by Danny Fairbrass to be an aggressive, strong, spinning hook rapide, with brilliant hooking potential with a variety of setups. It is produced by one of the top Japanese hook manufacturers and is incredibly strong. It has proven its ability to withstand fishing for big carp in extreme conditions, both at France and abroad.
The Klor has a very aggressive shape (even more so than our Kurv Shank hook), with the point in line with the eye, which encourages it to turn quickly and hook into a carp's mouth. The wide shank and turned eye also means the hook can be used without the need for a retractable tube or kicker.
It can be used with braid, coated hooks (if the coating is removed in front of the hook) and the combi rig.
The tip of the spout is long, ultra sharp and turned slightly inward, which ensures the safest possible grip on the hook. It is also much less likely to be damaged by nuisance species, such as crayfish and small fish, that move it across the bottom, especially when fishing on gravel.
The wire is heavy gauge, resulting in a very strong hook that can be used in tough conditions, even with braid, without fear of it breaking open. In testing, Danny landed carp over 60 pounds in wild, snag-filled French waters. Despite the thickness of the line, the point remains very sharp and the barb, once the hook is set, ensures that it stays in place.
