ESP Cryogen Curve Shanx Hooks

ESP Cryogen Curves are now approximately 25% stronger than previous models while still retaining their long, fine, needle-sharp points that are now even more durable. Designed for a wide range of modern carp rigs—including perfect compatibility with Ronnie rigs—the Curves offer exceptional hooking efficiency thanks to their quick-turning, anti-eject shape and ultra-reliable hook holds. Launched as part of the groundbreaking ESP Cryogen range, these hooks are the result of over three years of intensive development and field testing, raising industry standards for strength and point durability. Using advanced manufacturing techniques including high-temperature treatment and cryogenic tempering, ESP has achieved significantly improved molecular structure in the steel, reducing internal stress and boosting tensile strength and wear resistance. Cryogenic tempering, a process trusted in high-performance fields like Formula 1 engineering, ensures these hooks offer unmatched resilience without needing heavier wire gauges. Bench testing and independent scientific analysis confirmed that Cryogen hooks are 25–30% stronger than equivalent PTFE-coated carp hooks, while maintaining optimum sharpness and finesse. ESP’s new generation Curves have been thoroughly developed, tested, and refined over 18 months, delivering an outstanding combination of sharpness, strength, and reliability. Whether you’re targeting pressured carp or fishing tricky venues, ESP Cryogen Curves provide high-performance, long-lasting reliability you can trust.
