The Kurv Shank is a very versatile hook and can be used with both pop-up rigs and sinking rigs, including popular presentations like KD and IQ D-rig. It has excellent hooking properties thanks to an inward-facing eye and a curved shank, which help it turn and hold inside the fish's mouth, even when used without shrink tubing or a Kicker. The hooking potential is also enhanced by its long, sharp point. This popular model is now available in a Kurv Shank X version, perfect when you want a stronger hook than the standard Kurv Shank, without having a heavy hook and thick wire like the XX model. The Kurv Shank X is available in sizes 2, 4, 6, and 8, supplied in packs of ten hooks.
