One of the most classic hook models, since its introduction the Wide Gape has led over the years to a huge number of large carp catches. Based on the traditional and popular classic Maruta Kinryu forked hook model from the '80s and '90s, Korda's reinterpretation has made it easier to use by replacing the fork with an eyelet.

The Wide Gape features an eyelet slightly turned inward, with a short shank, a tempered curve, and a very sharp beak point. It can be used with a wide variety of pop-up rigs or bottom baits, and once set tends to stay in place. There is a Wide Gape X version for more extreme fishing situations in the UK or abroad. The Wide Gape XX version, even stronger and more durable, is designed for truly extreme conditions abroad, such as those where huge Siamese carp or Mekong catfish are found in Thailand. For areas where barbed hooks are prohibited, Korda offers the Wide Gape B.

It is sold in packs of ten, and each version of this hook is available in different sizes: 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 for the Wide Gape; 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 for the Wide Gape B; 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 for the Wide Gape XX; and 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 for the Wide Gape X.
