- OUR BEST HOOK EVER - #WIN #KORUM #HOOKS #COMPETITION
The Korum Grappler hook is the best selling hook in our Supersteel range. We're incredibly proud to say that we designed this hook from scratch, with one goal in mind: to provide the ultimate hook-hold for anglers.
Featuring an aggressive, curved-shank pattern and a swept-back point for improved penetration, the Grappler hook is designed to withstand even the most brutal environments. The beaked point can take a beating and still maintain its sharpness, while the large eye allows for use with thicker materials.
But as good as the Supersteel range of hooks are, we're always looking to improve. That's why we're reaching out to you, our valued customers, for your input. Do you think we're missing a finesse-style hook in our range? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Since i focus a lot on river fishing for bigger fish i love widegap barbed hooks in size 4 and 6 that are thick and fit to 2x15 mm boilies since where i fish a lot of trees in the water but thats where the big fish is
I love the XPERT power hooks just purchased all the sizes up to 10.
Love to see allrounders in smaller sizes for mommy maggot fishing :)
Would love to see korum make some cheb rig hooks, long shank and wide bend with extra large eye for that extra free movement.
Our Snapper range is no more, but we'll pass on the comments to the predator brands within the group.
I love Korumhooks, they are brilliant! But i wished that you made them a couple of sizes bigger. Size 4 or even 2 would be lovely.
I want to see a treble with a medium length, curved shank with hair rig attached to the middle, between all three hoods. The ultimate big fish hook!
I would like to see some larger versions of the KKM-B and the MCM-B. Awesome hooks
Please please please keep doing the specialist in a size 14, it's the best small hook I've found and landed all sizes of fish on from our rivers. Keep up the good work
I like wide gape with a short shank and a in turn point from size 16....to.......10 for banding and hair rig work
And the Winner is- Mart Angling all-round Fishing. Get in touch using our contact form on our website.
I agree I use the grappler from korum would like to see method feeder hooks with a curved point
I love the allrounder but it s wire gauge is just a little thin for barbel or tench fishing with snags around. A hook with the same shape in a thicker wire would be perfect for allround specimen (and carp) fishing.
I'd definitely give them a try 💯
Got to be honest guys your current range of hooks suit all my needs. Barbel and chub fishing on rivers and carp and eel fishing in the close season. Was going to suggest pre tied hooks to braid but the hook hairs with quick stops in size 10 work for me to tie up with braid.
Only got korum hooks in my barbel /river tackle box 💪👍
Favourite at the moment is the Allrounder, as the name suggests you can use it for pretty much everything. Would be cool for korum to release a hook predominately for surface fishing/stalking. Something light weight with a fine wire that would sit perfectly banded to a mixer! A good name for it would be the “stalker”
Like it.
Looks awesome 👍
Penetrator my fave barbel hook especially the smaller sizes. I’d like to see a chod hook pattern with a proper outurned eye specifically for using with mono and fluorocarbon
The thing i really really want is a circle hook (smaller sizes too!). In my opinion it is the best hook for deadbaiting pike, zander and perch.
I'm an avid (excuse the pun 😉) Korum user. I pretty much only use the Supersteel hooks, and my 'go to' patterns are the Grappler, Power, and All Rounder.
One thing I would love to see from a Korum hook would be a nice strong curve shank hook so we can make 'Slip D' rigs and also take advantage of that aggressive angle that the hook has using popped-up or wafer style baits. I think with the new Korum coated braid (which has been a stellar move, by the way 👌🏻) it allows us to use stiffer hook lengths or rigs, especially when using helicopter style rigging, and a curve shank suits that to a tee.
Anyway, that's my pennies' worth, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this competition and Mat's notebook sketches!! 🎣🔥
Good luck, everyone 😁👍🏻
Well carpy!
@KorumFishing it was a thought as it looks as though Korum has pretty much everything else covered really.
I use helicopter rigs for bream and Tench, and have used small curve shank hooks sizes 12, or 10 and they've been brilliant.
However, yes, very Carpy indeed!! 😉🤣🤣👌🏻👍🏻
I would like to see a dedicated paste hook with a wide gape to leave the point showing .
Love the korum hook hairs but would like to see a good strong chub hook in like a size 14 or a 16 with a micro Barb with a wide offset shank for chunkier baits in both hooks to nylon or loose hooks and maybe on a coated braid for rough ground if you need to bend the hook out.
I already use the range of Korum hooks for everything from rivers to stillwaters for larger specimens to small silverfish. Considering that Spring and Summer are on the way then possibly a purpose made floater hook for surface fishing, one thats not too obtrusive when hair rigged to a chum mixer, but is sharp with Excellent hooking potential.
I forgot to mention I always use the grappler hooks and the Xpert power hooks. I will have to have a think of anything new you can add to the range.
Used to catch loads on the S3 hooks, brilliant barbel and speci hooks..think I'm still got a few knocking around in the garage.
They were great. Unfortunately the supplier wanted the seamless tech for themselves on a carp range they released.
I'd like to see something inspired by a sea fishing chinu hook. The back turned eye would be ideal for tying a knotless knot
Our Allrounder pattern is basically a Chinu
Been using Grapplers in a size 6 for chub, but would love to see a dedicated floater hook, maybe similar to a grappler but with less of a beaked point.
I would Love a Spade end version of the grappler. I think that the link from line to hook are always perfekt and straight. Ad a hook lite the grappler with spadeend would be the perfekt hook in my book.
It's a longshot I know 😂 but I'd love there to be a specific hope for using worms, one that keeps the worm presented on the shank nicely and stops the worms wrapping over the point. Maybe like a barb half way up the shank I'm not to sure but would definitely come in handy 😂
You do a really good range of hooks, so that’s going too be a hard one to find a new design . Good luck trying. Grappler are right up their 👍 I use the Allrounder quite a lot. Must try the Xpert power in a 16 for my general fishing. All your hooks are excellent.
Thank you
wide gape hook with the eyed slightly bent
Love a Grappler! I find the wide gape and long shank perfect for fishing bigger baits (rolling meat for barbel being one example) and can always rely on their strength. I’d really like a similar short shanked alternative for particles and pop-ups, please.
Nice idea!
Well if I have to say what is the best hook you guys from korum have, that will be the xpert power. I use them from number 6 to 14. It gives me confidence and reduced the number of lost fish. I use these for both hair rigs and hooking baits straight on the hook. This is my best all round hook when it comes to larger specimen fish. what i would like to see under the korum brand would be hook with similar pattern to the PI N30, i love feeder fishing you see, and these hooks are ideal for smaller fish as they offer a bit of fines, slightly lighter and thinner hook, which i love when it comes to feeder fishing. Also it's been quite few years since I started using korum products and they get better and better with time, while still offering great value.
Thank you guys for your hard work. Keep it up
The Xpert Power is such a big seller, especially in barbed, and all over Europe too. An N30 with a big more power and a forged eye would be lovely for directly hooking baits.
Looks great might try this for my barbel.
Be lucky!
A Longshank hook with a wider gape and a beaked point, never seen it on the market but i am interested in the design.
Have a look at the new Fox longshank beaked hook - it ticks this box!
a very thin wire hook will be nice...shape like guru kuranku...spade and eyed
I do all types of fishing carp/chub barbel/ what i am finding hard in finding is the Ned hooks in 3 & 5g have you stopped producing these hooks ? love see these come back.
Yes, Snapper range is no more 😞
Hi, Love the super steel range of hooks, the different sizes, price range and versatility is amazing. One thing that's missing in the industry is barbless hook range. Nowadays people use micro barbed, which is safer than the typical large barbed hooks, but what about we could get everyone using barbless hooks? Most than likely, a lot of people won't change to using barbless hooks otherwise it is a rule on a private stretch, i think what's missin, in this case,e is a barbless hook that acts like a barbed hook is to design the hook with small ridges or bumps along the shank that will help to hold onto the fish once it has been hooked. These ridges or bumps would create friction against the fish's mouth, preventing it from slipping off the hook, yet being easy to unhook and not having a need for a barb at all. I think this will be a game charger in the fishing barbless industry.
In our testing we found that the only thing that behaves like a barb, is a barb. Ridged or bumped ideas make a bigger hole than a standard barbless and more fish fall off!
@@KorumFishing bumps wise possibly, would create a larger entry, but that larger entry wouldn't make a difference, when the entry would width of the bump, possible ridges cut into the hook wouldn't make a larger entry point, instead it would create larger surface area, which would increase the fiction and in theory should reduce slipping off the fish. It would require some more engineering, but i still think ridges in the hook would be beneficial.
We will be announcing the winner of this competition on the 31st March. Please keep your eyes peeled and keep those comments coming.
Where are you guys announcing the winner, please?
@@ivankarastoyanov3618 We waited given the timing meant announcing on April 1st 😆
That's what I thought 😹
What about a circle / j hook for small minnow and roach live baits for perch /Zander sizes 8-2 ,also some Kevlar coated braid for predators hook links when you want a bit more finesse than a trace .
I use the grappler hook on a hair with a bait coil ideal for cheese paste / meat for whiskers and chub .👍
Predator gear not really our game, but it's a nice idea.
Hand sharpen hooks Like a wind gate and curve mix together 🎉🎉
I'm relatively new to fishing, not 100 percent on what the difference between hooks and it seems hard to fund the information easily. My suggestion is more to have a simple guide on the back of the package with what the hooks in the range are for, model and size. Just an idea. I'll pick up some of your hooks next time I'm in the shop.
Great suggestion! Sounds like a good video for one of the team members too.
thanks, look forward to seeing the video, would be a massive help
Hi, I have a question that has nothing to do with the hooks exactly, but something you might wish to do. In the Korum videos it's not always mentioned what Korum gear is being used. It would be nice in the description to list the rod, reel, terminal tackle being used etc.. I have been fishing over 30 years so I know what goes with what. But any newbies to the sport might find it handy and it will also be good for Korums sales as a lot of people like to stick with one brand 👍 👍
Hi Mr T. Noted! We'll bear this in mind for the future.
grapple hook would be good if you could make it heavier 👌
Hello guys. I'm new into korum family. I just bought a korum phase 1 10 feet rod and the korum infernos gold 3000 reel. I bought them just because I want to try them based on the opinion of other users. Once I opened the package I was astonished by the quality of the products by the high-end finisages. On Monday i will go to put on work the essembly and I will tell you more about the results. I wordred those hooks Korum Xpert Specimen Micro-Barbed no: 10, 12, 14 and 16. Let's see which one of them will give the best result. Kind regards form Romania, Marius
Thanks Marius. Welcome to Korum!
Size 8, 6 & even a 5 for chub and perch … you could even call it the ‘cherch’ … no need to pray to land it
I use the grappler and penatrator hooks for me chub and barbel fishing for me I would like to see a grappler in a heavier gauge wire and possibly A offset point to really make it hard in a barbed or barbless form for the fish to deal with I think that would be great
That would be a proper riot gear hook! For us the Penetrator shape and wire gauge is unrivalled for hit and hold fishing with low strength hooklinks like braid and coated braid particularly. Stronger than Chuck Norris.
I use Nash hooks, but I do like the look of the grappler and I like the idea of longer shank, do you do barbless?
Indeed we do!
I'm akways looking for a hook with a similar aggressive profile with a perfect guage of metal that gives strength but enables you to put maggots onto the hook with as little to no damage as possible to keep them wrigglers alive and kicking without popping them.
I currently use Gardner mugga in size 12 and i can just about get them past the barb without damaging them to much, msybe a micro barb would be better.
For me its use on the river as an allround hook for Barbel, Chub, Bream and pretty much whatever comes along is important to me in low, clear conditions using maggots bunched up directly on the hook.
Another imprtant aspect would be for the metal to not be so smooth that the bunch of maggots slides down the hook but to keep them up the shank and around the curve without them ending up bunched just on the curve.
The latter not being as important but still a aspect to having a great Maggot hook for a catch almost all hook.
Noted 😉

@@KorumFishing awesome thankyou 👍
Would love a dedicated floater hook
Nice idea but what shape/features should it have?
I fish the wye alot in fast very rocky weedy swim but that's were the barbel!. I would love to see a grappler spade end barbels hook design for using with large bits of meat thank you.
In our tests looking at Spade versus Eyed. We wouldn’t recommend a spade end hook for barbel fishing.
Korum CS Series Hair Rig Hook very good hooks for commercial fish why did you stop selling them please come back with them
We didn’t stop. Shops stopped buying them 😂
Grappler in a size 4 please
Bet you could use that on a Ronnie rig
How do the grappler hooks compare in wire gauge against the power hooks in 12 / 14.
Slightly thicker but weight is similar side by side. We’d say the Grappler is a stronger pattern if you were grading our hooks by strength.
Why hasn't korum got a stand at Farnborough 🤷
The shows used to be worth attending but we can use the resource to much better use these days. Like making great content like this all over Europe!
@@KorumFishing it was terrible I only stayed a couple of hours
Please please please keep doing the specialist in a size 14, it's the best small hook I've found and landed all sizes of fish on from our rivers. Keep up the good work
