This pattern is the brainchild of Tom Dove, who was looking to design a pattern of hook that had the aggressive sweeping shank of the Kurv Shank, with an enormous gape for maximum purchase and hooking potential. Throw in an offset point too and you have the Krank, a hook that's such a good hooker it's best used with a simple knotless knot setup!
Tom had simple setups like his own 'muzza' in mind when he began the development process, but the end product is a much more versatile beast that ensures that not only will you hook more fish, but you'll land more too!

Krank Choddy Hooks
Like the original Krank hook, the Krank Choddy was designed by head of product development, Tom Dove, after he noticed that the shape of the shank would be perfect for chod rig presentations.
The Krank Choddy is the same shape as the original Krank, but with an out-turned eye, so that when used with a stiff material such as Mouth Trap there is a continuous curve all the way along the hook link and hook shank, making it the ultimate chod presentation. It has a razor sharp beaked point, which is slightly offset with a very wide gape, to increase the hooking potential and ensure that you get a good hook hold. It is a very strong pattern that is suitable for use in weedy and snaggy situations. It comes in barbed and barbless versions, in sizes 4, 6, 8, or 10, with ten hooks in a packet.
