Korda - Essentials Krank Barbless

The Korda Krank has become synonymous with carp catching since Tom Dove invented the concept in 2014. It has been featured all over the world on programmes such as *Monster Carp* and in countless films from the *Masterclass* and *Thinking Tackle* series.

Now, the fantastic Krank X is available in the Essentials range.

The Krank's unique shape is characterized by a very wide gape and a short, curved shank. However, the key difference is its offset point, which greatly increases hook-set potential. Used almost exclusively by Tom and Spooner for their spinner rigs, this hook has been responsible for a huge number of catches in recent years.

Made with our "X" gauge wire, this Krank X version is extremely strong and durable, and features a discreet black nickel finish. It's a versatile hook, suitable for both UK and European fishing. The point is sharp and durable, often allowing you to catch multiple fish with the same hook; however, we recommend checking the point after each catch and replacing it if necessary.

The Story of Essentials:

"BASIX has evolved into Korda Essentials. I originally designed the range to accompany the 'Back to Basix' Masterclass, but over the past few years we've realised something: BASIX is no longer simply 'basic'. The range has grown so much, and the equipment is of such quality, that it deserved a more appropriate name; we felt 'Essentials' was the perfect choice. It includes everything you need and nothing you don't. Whether you're just starting out with carp fishing or have been chasing big fish for twenty years, this kit will be up to the task." – Danny F

Korda Essentials makes quality carp fishing equipment more accessible to young people, beginners, occasional anglers, and those on a budget. It ensures everyone has the equipment they need to catch fish as effectively, if not better, than the angler next to them.
