NASH Chod Claw Hook

Product benefits

The NASH Chod Claw is a carp hook specially designed for modern pop-up presentations, particularly for chod rig and D-rig setups. Its geometry is engineered to maximize hooking potential and ensure exemplary fish retention throughout the fight.

Thanks to its generous gape and pronounced bend, this hook naturally tends to position correctly in the carp’s mouth, even when the fish feeds cautiously or takes the bait stealthily. The result is fast, deep and secure hooks, significantly reducing the risk of the fish coming off.

Technical features

• Outward-facing eyelet to optimize penetration angle and hook behaviour with floating baits.
• Wide gape and aggressive profile promoting rapid and stable hooking in the carp’s lower lip.
• Enlarged eyelet diameter allowing easy use of stiff leaders and rigid materials commonly used on chod and D-rig setups.
• Bend shape engineered to enhance anti-ejection effect and keep the fish firmly hooked, even during strong fights.
• Versatile design suitable for a wide variety of waters and carp fishing situations.

Advantages and product highlights

In fishing action, the NASH Chod Claw stands out for its extremely aggressive behaviour as soon as the carp contacts the bait. Combined with a stiff leader, it creates a highly effective self-hooking rig, ideal for targeting wary fish that have been caught previously.

This model is particularly well suited to strategies for carp fishing based on pop-up presentations above weed, debris or uneven bottoms. Where other hooks may struggle to present correctly, the Chod Claw’s specific shape promotes a stable and functional position, reducing tangles and optimising bait presentation.

• More reliable chod and D-rig setups thanks to a shape designed to turn quickly.
• Fewer missed bites and hook pulls due to a particularly hooking-friendly profile.
• Excellent rig stability, including on cluttered or irregular bottoms.
• Suitable for both short sessions and long nights requiring high confidence in your gear.

Usage advice

To fully exploit the potential of this special chod hook, it is recommended to pair it with a quality stiff or semi-stiff leader, whether fluorocarbon or specific materials for chod rigs. The enlarged eyelet diameter makes fitting these materials easy without constraining them, allowing the chod rig or D-rig to work freely.

Make sure to choose a leader length suited to the height at which you want to present your pop-up above the bottom. It is also advisable to check the hook point regularly and replace it as soon as signs of wear appear, to maintain optimal penetration performance.

This model will naturally find its place in your rigs intended for silty areas, weed beds or cluttered margins, where a lifted presentation is often decisive. Combined with an appropriate lead and a correctly balanced line, it is a key asset for all your technical approaches.
