Been saying this ever since they came out!
To be fair it looks a nice pattern, ridiculous name though!

Not sure what you mean by that comment, bigger than what ? I'm just suggesting an alternative hook pattern which won't bend out

In reply to Post #32
No worries, it is indeed a fairly similar pattern, albeit with a slightly shorter shank.

We are just pointing out that it's a silly name:
Take a normal hook, make the gape wider => "wide gape"
Now make the shank longer, what do you have ? Same pattern you started with, but bigger!

Oh ok ? Same with long shank hooks then

In reply to Post #34
Well, no, if you take a size 6 and only lengthen the shank, it's a size 6 long shank, or of you prefer, a size 4 "small gape"!

OK, pointless conversation really, which I know I got involved in too 🤣🤣,

But the Fox wide gape long shank is still an excellent strong hook

Exactly, they could just have said use #### style of hook, but use a size 1 instead of a size 4.
