Cryogen Para-Point Size4 – Micro Barb

Description

Cryogen Para-Point Size4 – Micro Barb

This is the absolute ‘enforcer’ of the range. The medium length shank, with an almost crystal bend and inclined point, make this an incredibly strong shape, further enhanced by the heavy forging and Cryogen tempering process.

The long, fine needle sharp point, further enhanced by the slick Tufflon coating ensures excellent hook holds and the straight eye allows this pattern to be highly versatile as a bottom bait or pop up hook, with or without a kicker. The straight eye makes it especially effective for a Tungsten Loaded ‘D-Rig’ where the straight eye acts to increase the gape. The ‘Para’ has already become a real favourite amongst our testers and looks set to be the ‘go to’ all-rounder for years to come.

The initial launch of ESP Cryogen hooks in March 2016 caused a massive stir with discerning anglers quickly recognising the distinct technical advantages they offered. They were the result of over three years of development and field testing which culminated in a new standard in strength and point durability.

New manufacturing techniques including both high temperature and cryogenic tempering have produced significantly stronger hooks with more durable, long life points.

Cryogenic tempering is a process used to improve the molecular structure in steel which in turn reduces stress and improves strength and wear resistance. It is used in many disciplines with Formula 1 engine parts being a classic example.
