The raptor big T. What a hook. Great for free lining a chunk of bread. Like you said they’d just last so long.

I believe the best hook I’ve ever used was the ESP big T hook like below you could land multiple fish on them.shame they stopped making them 🥲 and I’m down to my last packet

Agree, trig hammers are still decent hooks after 3 or 4 fish and sharpen up well with a stone if ness

A number of tackle brands all source their gear from the same factories.

Hooks are no different.

Drennan/ESP I'm positive have their own factory, and own Kamasan.
I haven't used ESP hooks for a few years, but they hold their point and I would land numbers of fish on one hook. They didn't need binning after every take.

Yeh for any trig Hammer users, king of the pond do a similar pattern and looking at their other hooks I believe these may be the exact same design as angling iron, ib hooks and carp spirit. They all come from the same place I've recently discovered.

Very sharp out of pack

Love the barbed trig hammers not lost a fish on them yet (touch wood) but lost a few on the barbless ones. I have found the hooks to be slightly bouncy where an heavy battle might cause the hook to open out a bit. So been using the fox medium curves when fishing in weed

I tried, I like the pattern but they were almost blunt after 24 hours in the water..
It rarely happens using other hooks.

Has anyone used the King of the Pond version. Slightly more of a curved profile but again very sharp 👍🏻
