Rigga CVR hook barbed

The length of the shaft was determined by the shape of the bend and the final position of the eye. Essentially, it is long enough to ensure that the hook rotates and engages, without being so long that the hook acts as a lever.

Also, practice showed that a stronger wire is vital on bent shank hooks to maintain reliability in the most demanding fishing situations, and also in terms of wire stiffness, as bent hooks can cause problems in terms of hook movement in the mouth of the fish. Think of it this way: the strong wire and unique shape lock the hook firmly in place and hold it there.

The resulting CVR pattern has proven itself during long-term testing. Whether combined with conventional rigs such as blow back rigs, or on specialized rigs such as the german and Ronnie, the CVR's design offers real mechanical advantages in terms of initial prodding and maintenance of the strongest possible hook hold. There is no other crochet pattern like the CVR - the ultimate expression of curved shaft crochet mechanics.

These CVR Rigga hooks feature these CVR hooks:

Super sharp, long tapered, chemically etched straight tip.
CVRs feature a medium-length curved shaft, wide gape, and un-reversed bend.
A 20° in-turned eye ensures optimal hooking performance with any type of hooklink and is a recommended 360° rig pattern.
The dull PTFE coating reduces corrosion, aids gripping and minimizes glare.
Made in Japan from the finest extra strong double tempered, forged, high carbon language wire.
