Amazing the question has to be asked when you are paying good money from top companies for an item that has to do 1 job you'd think the least you would get is sharp hooks in every packet... its wrong .. I use gardner and owners but they come up pretty small but sharp... ;-)

Ooh I like it when I make a suggestion that no one else has. Makes me feel all clever and special. :-)

I've recently been trying the ESP Cryogens. I've had a few fish on them, albeit only doubles from a non snaggy water, but every hook point was spot on out of the packet. I didn't feel the need to sharpen any of them. I will let you know how I get on longer term with them if I eventually hook something decent.

Nash twister, really sharp out of the pack.

I do like the esp trig-hammer hooks I must admit they are pretty sharp out the packet

@Braders1978 thats the one for some reason I couldn't remember what it was called and I've packed my bags up to go fishing so didn't fancy unpacking it all to get my box out

Size wise how do Angling Iron Hooks come up? for example is a 6 average, big or small compared to Nash etc?

ESP cryogen. All really sharp, constantly nicking myself with them when tying a rig. Pretty much have to sharpen any other hooks tbh.

Jason Hayward's hooks are amazing, super sharp but also strong. The j precision hooks are very very sharp but find the point is a bit on the fragile side compared to jays hooks. Would only use the j precision for pop ups not for anything on the deck

After those two the angling iron hooks are really good but not as sharp as the jay hayward or j precision hooks

I like the trig hammers as well, normally very sharp out the packet...
