Hi
Does anyone make a long shank wide gape hook with a straight rather than beaked point?

I suppose the ESP Trig Hammer could be classed this way.

How is a long shank wide gape hook not just a bigger hook?

A bigger wide gape is a bigger hook. A bigger long shank is a bigger hook.

But... most long shanks don't have a proportionately wide gape. Most wide gapes don't have a proportionately long shank. It's a fair question.

Buy your preferred wide gape and extend the shank with a long kicker.
