Covert Dark incizor hooks

The Incizor has always been a very versatile pattern that can be used in conjunction with almost any hooklink material.

The straight eye means you can use them with stiff 'Trip Wire' style hooklink materials on Chod rigs and Hinged Stiff rigs. Now that it has been upgraded as part of the introduction of the Covert Dark series, it has a longer, tapered even sharper point.

This latest Covert Dark version of this pattern features the new stripped Covert Dark plating that still provides excellent camouflage, thanks to the dark matte finish, but also ensures that we keep the hook tips absolutely clean and razor sharp. Covert Dark is a single galvanized layer, so the reduction in treatment during the finishing process ensures that the points remain as sharp as the moment they were made.

A second important specification change is that we have changed the shape and length of the Incizor so that the tip is longer, slimmer and even sharper than before. The new long tapered points are a big improvement that allows hookpins to penetrate even faster and easier.

Gardner also upgraded to a microbarb on all new Covert Dark Hooks. This offers two major advantages. First, many commercial fisheries require anglers to use patterns with small barbs since it is friendlier to the mouth of the fish, and second, microbarb hooks are stronger since less wire is cut to form the barb.

The Incizor has always held exceptional hookholds as the combination of the medium length shank and in-turned straight point means that the angle of penetration is just "as good as it gets" for this style of hook, and the improved point and micro barb only enhances this performance.

Having a straight eye also means that Incizor is the perfect pattern to use with Fluorocarbon hooklinks, as acutely twisted eyes can cause weakness in some fluorocarbon materials. With the addition of a small shrink tube or Covert Hook Aligner, they are excellent to use with braided and skinned hooklinks. Truly versatile....

Incizors are a Strong Hook. They are made of extra strong wire thickness and can be used with confidence in almost any carp fishing situation. During the development and testing of the Covert Dark range, we modified the thread specified in the production of the 8 Incizor hook size so that this size now offers the same strength as all other sizes in this pattern.
