2. Precision Dual Diamond File

Your all-in-one hook sharpening solution. Why? Because these professional-grade diamond files have a coarser 400-grade file on one side, and finer 600-grade file on the reverse. Use the 400 to shape the hook and make that first sharpen, then flip it to use the 600 to hone!

Key Features - A double sided, twin grade professional diamond file - Point reshaping and finishing with just one tool for any size of hook - The perfect introduction to hand sharpening - The coarser 400 grade file is used for honing and shaping the point - Reverse side has a finer 600 grade stone - Used for polishing the point for a smooth finish - Removal of burrs and re-touching hooks to pinpoint sharpness

6. Pinpoint Protection Grease

So, once you’ve gone to the bother of honing your hook points to perfection, how do you make sure that they stay like that, in the corrosive lake environment? Here’s your answer. Smear a little of this grease onto the hook point and, hey presto, your work is protected! Worried about it putting fish off? Don’t be, it’s odour- and taste-free.

Key Features - Helps to preserve needle sharp points - Prevents degradation of sharpened hooks - Done through oxidation in the atmosphere before use - Odour and taste free and without chemical additives - Each pot treats up to 200 hooks

7. Hook and TT Marker Pens

These camo pens do two main things for you, first, they take off the freshly-sharpened glint that’s the inevitable consequence of filing the hook coating off, then they offer a level of protection to the hook point as well. Each pack of pens contains three shades of marker: Green, Brown and Black, so you can match your hooks (they can also be used on tubing and other rig components) to the lakebed.

Key Features - Low odour acid free permanent markers - Darkens and protects hook points - Preventing reflection in clear water conditions - Three shades of marker in each pack - Green, Brown and Black - Allows multiple camouflage options for any environment - Also helps conceal other terminal tackle items - Such as hooklinks, plastic rig components and rubbers - Can also be used on controllers and Zig Floats

8. Claw hooks

These are one of the most eye-catching patterns that we can remember seeing for many a long year! We mean, that angled bend is quite unlike any other pattern in existence! What’s it all about then? Nash has developed the ‘angled apex bend’ to give more secure hook holds than ever before. The guys rate it as an extreme big carp weapon, and the eye bears testament to that, being enlarged for the use of the heaviest hooklinks for the most challenging situations! Available in sizes 10 up to 1.

Key Features - Updated patterns and advanced manufacture - Raises the bar with the most advanced, sharpest hook range yet - Radical new wide gape extreme design - Ultimate strength with the biggest carp - Unique apex angled bend design - Secure hook holds under extreme pressure - Combines the hooking ability of a straight point - Durability of a beaked pattern - Enlarged eye for use with heavy hooklinks

9. Flota Claw Hooks

If you’ve got a radical new design that’s set to be a winner, then why not roll with it? Well, that’s what Nashy’s done here, with the Flota Claw. The super-wide gape and angled bend make this the perfect floater pattern, and it’s radical design lends huge strength to what needs to be a light pattern.

Key Features - Updated patterns and advanced manufacture - Raises the bar with the most advanced, sharpest hook range yet - Same unique design as the heavyweight Claw pattern - Reduced wire gauge perfect for floaters, zig fishing and natural baits - Wide gape for improved efficiency when direct hooking - Apex angled bend prevents bait slippage and masked hook points - Lightweight for improved presentation with floating and slow sinking hookbaits

10. Fang Gyro

Take one of the most popular patterns of all time, the Fang X, and weld it to a micro ring swivel and what do you have? Well, certainly among the most convenient ways to create the ultra-popular Ronnie Rig that we’ve seen! These are sure to find favour right across the spectrum of carp anglers, and we’d expect them to be the centre of new rig innovations too!

Key Features - Updated patterns and advanced manufacture - Raises the bar with the most advanced, sharpest hook range yet - Proven Fang X design with integral micro ring swivel - Designed for the ultimate hook rotation - Superior hooking with 360 rigs and Ronny Rigs - No additional components required
