There are hundreds of different hook patterns available, but these are the ones you really need: Gardner’s new Covert Black – hooks you’ll wolf-whistle at.

Drawing on over a decade of experience, Gardner have rolled out their Covert concept (it began life on their range of plastic terminal tackle bits: tubing, lead clips, etc.) to their collection of award-winning hooks. So what does that mean: in short, each of the six patterns now come with a dark matt finish. They feature long, sharper chemically etched points. And they are manufactured from extra strong, forged, double tempered high carbon steel wire for incredible strength.

Now for the more in-depth stuff. Starting with the points, Gardner has totally re-profiled them, making each one longer with a refined tapered shape, making them even sharper than ever before, which for all of you who do or who have used Mugga’s and Incizors before will struggle to believe, but trust us, these really are even sharper!

They have changed the protective plating to a single layer of matt black electroplated finish which ensures that the point stays amazingly sharp. And finally they’ve now incorporated micro barbs (barbless are available on five of the six patterns) which has the benefit of maintaining the hook’s strength as this teeny barb reduces the amount of wire carved out for it to be created.

Two winners will each win £50 worth of hooks. So do you fancy winning this fantastic prize? Of course you do, so answer the below question and cross all your limbs!
