New Korda hooks

[rperry]

I know it’s a bit of a ghost town on here but wondered if any of you have opinion on the following.

The new Korda hooks are ridiculously sharp, but I am using the Krank on a barbless water and early signs aren’t good.

I rarely lose fish with barbless but had two drop out on a slack line yesterday (double take after 15 hours blanking!) and the the two I landed both dropped out in the net. So question is, in barbless are they too bloody sharp? I always use aligners and haven’t had this problem previously. I usually use 8-12s and was on an 8 yesterday.

Like I say, brilliant that they are sharp, but with barbless does easy in mean easy out?

Shouldn't do - I always use mega sharpened hooks on horseshoe (barbless) and rarely lose a fish.

Used them last week, out there for 16 hours an the hook points were black an rusted

They're wickedly sharp but any little nick or dink and the points are turned.

As above.know people that used them and wont use em again.

Sharp....but comes at a cost ....the points snap when under pressure

So, they're basically crap then ?

Yep....

Sharp as fk....but no point in hooking a fish if they fall off most of the time.
