Anyone use these and if so, thoughts?

I met a member of a lake I'm fishing at the weekend and he put me on to these hooks. Like the design of them but it looks like they only come in a pack of 2 for like £5 or £6 Interested to hear any comments on these.

What..! You mean to say you received more than 2 hooks in a packet. I canny believe it. I've been done

But on a more serious note these hooks look/feel bad ass. Love the in turn 20 degree eye and v sharp out the packet. Although my packets clearly have holes in them

I have been using these hooks since they first come out and they are fantastic. I literally only fish with two rigs these days, the german suing the CVR's and Ronnies using the Mugga's. The hook holds with the CVR's are incredible and it is very rare for me to have a hook pull.

I like them, strong, pretty sharp and great hook holds, the best pattern I've found for barbless waters
Looking at them up close they do want a tickle with a sharpening stone, lots I've looked at have blobs of coating at the point. You wouldn't see this with a loupe, but you might feel it and think the point has turned over.

This applies to a lot of hooks tho, I see it more with these probably because I've looked at more of them up close than other hooks
