Fox Edges Armapoint Super Wide Gape Long Shank Hooks 5

Fox Edges Armapoint Super Wide Gape Long Shank — Turn and Hold Every Take

The Armapoint Super Wide Gape Long Shank combines critical elements from the most effective carp hook patterns into one deadly design. Engineered for modern rig presentations, this hook turns instantly in the carp's mouth and locks in place with its beaked point.

Engineered for Instant Hooking

The lengthened shank features a subtle sweeping curve that encourages the hook to rotate the moment a carp picks up your bait, positioning the point perfectly for penetration. Combined with a wide gape that keeps the point free to catch hold, this pattern converts more takes into hooked fish. The slightly in-turned eye further exaggerates the shank's turning action, making it exceptionally responsive on Ronnie rigs and bottom bait setups.

Beaked Point for Maximum Hold

Once the Armapoint penetrates, the beaked point design ensures the hook stays put during the fight, significantly reducing the risk of hook pulls. This aggressive point geometry also makes the hook ideal for fishing bottom baits over hard gravel, where standard points might struggle to find purchase. Forged from XC81 Vanadium steel with increased wire gauge, the hook delivers serious strength without unnecessary weight.

Choose the Right Variant

Select your hook size based on bait size and target fish:

• Size 7 — Smallest option for delicate presentations, mini pop-ups, and wary fish on pressured waters

• Size 6 — Versatile choice for 12–16 mm boilies and balanced bottom baits

• Size 5 — Current variant; suits 16–20 mm baits, Ronnie rig presentations, and all-round carp fishing

• Size 4 — Largest pattern for oversized pop-ups, big boilies, and specimen hunting
