Pallatrax GripZ Chod Hooks
After extensive research into the limitations of barbed and barbless hooks, it became clear that there was a need for development. As a result, this radical design was born, which transcends the boundaries between traditional hooks and new technology.
Made from premium quality Japanese steel, the key innovation is the tiny horizontal notches located on the inner side of the hook point, positioned where the barb used to be. These grooves allow the hook to hold securely in the fish's mouth under load, as the tissue compresses into the notches, ensuring strong retention without slipping. Once the load is released, the hook returns to its barbless form, making it easy and safe to remove. A simple yet incredibly effective solution.
No one can deny that this is a serious and genuine advancement in hook technology that can revolutionize fishing and provide benefits for anglers, fish, and waters alike. The unique advantages of GRIPZ hooks are easily perceived, particularly in reducing hook slips, minimizing fish loss associated with barbless hooks, and eliminating injuries caused by hook removals and the issues related to barbed hook rigs.
The Chod hook shape is available in sizes 4, 6, and 8, primarily for carp anglers who wish to create their own Chod rigs. The Pallatrax GripZ Chod hooks are incredibly strong to tackle large, powerful fighting carp – that’s exactly what they are designed for! To effectively present pop-up baits, the Chod hooks feature a bent hook eye that ensures excellent hooking on hooked fish. The Chod hook is the number one choice for most rigs used with floating baits, such as Zig and Chod rigs, but it is also extremely successful with sinking baits combined with hair rigs. Out of the package, they are razor sharp, so no additional sharpening is needed.
