{"product_id":"thinking-anglers-curve-shank-hooks-barbed","title":"Thinking Anglers Curve Shank Hooks - Barbed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Curve Shank is the pattern behind most modern carp rigs. A 15 degree in-turned eye, a curved shank and a needle-sharp straight point make it turn aggressively and take hold fast, which is what a Ronnie, a 360 or a Slip-D asks of a hook. It works just as well on a plain knotless knot hair or a blowback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurved shanks live or die on wire quality, so these are forged and double tempered from extra-heavy gauge high carbon steel. That process is where the strength-to-gauge comes from, and it is the reason the shape holds up on big fish. The straight point is long, tapered and finished in PTFE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize 4\u003c\/strong\u003e – The largest, for big baits and waters that ask a lot of a hook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize 5\u003c\/strong\u003e – An intermediary size, half a step down from the 4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize 6\u003c\/strong\u003e – The middle of the range, and a fair default for Ronnie work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize 7\u003c\/strong\u003e – The smallest Thinking Anglers make in this pattern.
