Lost a few fish on my last trip using Size 4 Muggas.
Was looking at trying a wide gape, possibly Kranks?
Any recommendations?

Thinking Anglers size 4 curve points (wide gapes)
I also use a slip d for the hair to get a bit of proper separation (I have the loop in between the barb and the point as I think this is more aggressive than having it by the bend)

Size 4 Kranks work well for me

That's the size I prefer too. Korda do a stronger version too, the X, I've never used those though.

Will medium kickers be ok to use with the size 4 kranks?

Looks good. Will stick a rig on one rod in 2 weeks.

I dropped a few fish on Ronnie's using curves so binned them off. Recently tried them again with size 4 Kranks and the hook holds were superb.

I like the way the hook sits when using a kicker. Looking forward to test it in 2 weeks.

I use either Kranks or ESP Claw Hammers for spinners. V confident in both.

Thinking anglers curve have served me well but a big fan of Angling Iron hooks at the moment
Tried the kranks on both rods. 6 runs, 5 landed. Will stick with them for a while.

I know it's not a wide gape but the Carp Spirit curves are great ronnie hooks

I've used the carp spirit or angling iron in a size 6 for the last 4 years or so. Consistently good hook holds, obviously the odd hook pull here and there as with any hook, but never opened one out either. With a 12mm pop up they are perfect for me. I recently bought 10 packs of the vmc ones off eBay which are the same hook for £1.50 each and been impressed with them too !
