The CVR pattern is the ultimate evolution of the curved shank hook principle.

The unique shape ensures that the hook twists aggressively the instant the hook bait is taken and once the super sharp long tapered point takes hold the shape ensures that hook holds are amazing, thanks to the alignment between the hook point and the in-turned hook eye. The shape and alignment of the point with the eye also means that these CVR’s excel as a ‘barbless only’ pattern, as the hook holds stay firmly in position in a similar way to a beaked point.

The length of the shank was dictated by the shape of the bend and the final position of the eye. Essentially, it’s long enough to maintain that all important working gape as the hook flips and takes hold, without being so elongated that the hook acts as a lever. Similarly, practical experience showed that a stronger wire is vital on curved shank hooks to maintain reliability across the most demanding angling situations, and also in terms of the wires rigidity as flexing hooks can create problems in terms of hook movement within the fish’s mouth. Think of it like this, the strong wire and unique shape locks the hook solidly in place and keeps it there.

The resulting CVR pattern has proven itself REMARKABLE during long term testing. Whether combined with conventional rigs like blow back rigs, or on specialist rigs like the German and Ronnie the CVR’s design offers genuine mechanical advantages in terms of initial pricking and maintenance of the strongest possible hook hold. There is no other hook pattern quite like the CVR – which is the ultimate expression of curved shank hook mechanics.

    They are very sharp. What I liked about them, is all 5 carp and 1 catfish hooked in the bottom of the mouth. I was fishing it with hair rig with wafters No kicker no split shot or putty counter weight to help it turn. Did it all on it's own. Not a big sample size. but 6 bites 6 on the bank can't ask for more. I will update this review if things don't continue as they have on my first use. I'm ordering more. I was using size 6 and 4.

    Bought the size 4 after reading reviews and watching videos on these hooks. Definitely liking that it doesn't need a kicker. And they are Sharp!

    I really like these hooks. No need for a kicker, they’re very sharp, stay sharp and resharpen well when needed.

    Saw these advertised by Gardner and was thrilled to see BCT get them in! I have used them in several different applications from bottom baits to Ronnie rigs and they adapt to any situation and they are super sharp right out of the box! My advise is give them a try! I use the size 4 but the 6 would be great too!
