Anyone ordered any? Be interesting to hear what people think. I use muggas for a lot of my fishing and think Gardner hooks are the best out there so might have to give them a go

They look super aggressive, the eye does look to far bent over reducing the gape to my untrained eye. I'm sure plenty of field testing has been done and results good enough to allow full on release to the public, in my mind however once the point is in following a pick up surely unless the eye is outside the fish's mouth it will be digging into the internal mouth flesh.....

Aren't the specifically designed for the Ronnie rig? That's what I got from the video. Obviously can be applied elsewhere but they are a Ronnie hook.

This might be a different video than the one you've seen from Gardner Joe......

Interested in the CVR (or CRV) whatever it's called (I don't even think the Geezer from Gardner is sure lol!).
Looks like they would negate the need for a hook aligner.

Would they be classed as a "nailer" though????

They are perfect for the 360 in size 4 or 6.

I like the look but how sharp are they?
Need to master the sharpening skill. The ones I get from j precision points are fantastic

Are they actually £2.50 each or is it just a fancy packet with two at the front and 8 more behind?!

Fancy packet mate. You've got them confused with the new nash hooks
Are you sure?
