Gardner Covert Talon Tip

 GARDNER TACKLE COVERT TALON TIP

Whether you are a carp or specialist angler you’ll find the very best hook patterns within the Gardner Tackle hook range.
The ranges are broadly split into two groups; ‘Covert’ that is Carp focused (but of course they can be used for all species) and ‘Target’ that is focused on the multi species and specimen angler. The covert dark chod with its straight point and slightly outturned eye is perfect for moden chos rigs using stiff hook link materials. 

The combination of a 5° in-turned eye and the beaked point on the Wide Gape Talon Tip certainly creates extremely positive hook holds as the angle is set at the optimum angle of drawer to make sure the hook goes in and stays in. Essentially the way in which the hook penetrates, as it is pulled in by the directional force created by the hook eye, is simply perfect.
The major advantage of a beaked point relates to how the point first takes hold. When it starts to grip the angle of the point naturally helps keep the hook point in position, even if the fish is trying to shake the rig free (this is particularly useful if you’re angling on a barbless rules venue). Another benefit is that the point is less likely to be turned over or damaged when you fishing over gravel or other rough types of lake bed, typically big stones that make up spoil bars on gravel pits.
