Gardner Covert Dark Incizor Hook
The Incizor has always been a
superbly versatile pattern that can be used in conjunction with almost any
hooklink material. The straight eye means that 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 range, it has a
longer, tapered even sharper point.
This latest Covert Dark version of
this pattern features the new stripped down Covert Dark plating still offers
excellent camouflage, thanks to the dark matt finish, but also ensures that we
keep the hook points absolutely pristine and razor sharp. Covert Dark is a
single electroplated layer; so the reduction in handling during the finishing
process ensures that the points remain as sharp as the moment they were made.
A second major specification change is that we have changed the shape and
length of the Incizors point so it is now longer, slimmer and even sharper than
before. The new long tapered points are a major improvement that ensures the
hook pricks even quicker and penetrates easier.
Gardner has also upgraded
to a micro barb on all of the new Covert Dark Hooks. This offers two major
benefits. Firstly, many commercial fisheries require anglers to use patterns
with small barbs as it is kinder to the fishs mouth, and secondly micro barbed
hooks are stronger as less wire is cut out to form the barb.
The Incizor
has always offered exceptional hook holds as the combination of the medium
length shank and in-turned straight point means that the angle of penetration is
simply 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 in-turned eyes can cause a weak spot with some fluorocarbon materials.
With the addition of a small shrink tube kicker or Covert Hook Aligner they are
superb used with in conjunction braided and skinned hooklinks. Truly versatile
Incizors are a STRONG hook. They are manufactured from extra strong wire
gauge and can be used with utmost confidence in almost any carp fishing
situation. During development and testing of the Covert Dark range we adjusted
the wire specified in the manufacture of the size 8 Incizor hook, ensuring that
this size now offers equivalent strength to all the other sizes in this pattern.
