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

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

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

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

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.

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

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