Closest, except maybe the Carp Spirit ones...
I know packaging isn't everything but literally only the make of the make changed on the box.

I suspect the angling iron and carp spirit are one and the same hooks, certainly look and feel the same.

I am really fussy about my hooks, to me I have found the best have a certain angle from the parallel point to the eye. Not too open gape just enough to improve hooking and ***** in the first place, but I believe the more closed the gape the better they will stay in once they have found a purchase. To me the ideal is a bit of a balance between the two. I used to love the esp raptor long shanx, but they are hard to get hold of now. Take a look at the IB hooks long shanks very simular but even sharper (the standard eruo-range). I have found them to be perfect and have a really hard point that stays sharp even when fishing on the bottom over gravel.
