A few people I know have had these snap. Then again the normal Korda range are known for snapping at the bend.

A cheaper Hook means it is cheaper to manufacture.
Does a hook that is cheaper to manufacture than one that costs more to manufacture (Given there is an end goal! e.g. sharper, stronger) stand a better chance of being closer to the end goal than the more expensive one? No.
Unless Korda are trying to lose profit and it's all a silly game.
I think the packaging saves costs?
Do I think overly sharp hooks are good.... no!
Are the basix versions going to be much inferior to the normal ones... no.
But generally speaking, they won't be better.
Buy ten packs of the basix and ten of the normal, you know where most of your better hooks are going to be.

I haven't tried the basix version but I am a big fan of the wide gape X ones and the standard Korda wide gapes on a water where I'd expect a bite if use them a lot

I found out my old man was still using some rigs he tied up just before Xmas, he fishes 3 days a week too. Gardner hooks are good but he doesn't even own a sharpening stone 😂

I found the opposite, I thought they were very sharp for an out the packet hook...perfect for a runs water as they'll do 2 or 3 fish

My mate bought some and showed me, they look like the cheapo China stuff, not very sharp either.

Unless you are regularly catching 40"s on them and publishing on Instagram every day. Nobody is going to believe you.
Except us.

started using these in 6s and 4s on a runs water and can honestly say I'm really impressed with them. The inturned eye with a bit of silicone tube over creates a nice angle and flips over every time. strong,sharp and cheap, what's not to like
