ESP Raptor hooks

Being discontinued, accordingly to the guys at Yateley Angling Centre, which has sent me into a mild panic. I know there are plenty of options out there, but they are pretty much the only barbel hooks I've ever used.
 
I was told ESP were just changing the card sleeve that comes with the hooks. To bring them inline to their new colour design
 
The new Grippers are a great hook and stay very sharp.

As do the ever reliable (and available from BFW shop) Pallatrax hooks. These hooks cannot be beaten, IMO.
 
That's a shame as they are great hooks. I have used the T6 hooks for a while, and have tried the newer Cryogen Gripper hooks which are perfect for lobworms.
 
I used to fish with them but seemed difficult to source so I looked around and now use the Pallatrax the Hook (Barbel) which comes from a reliable supplier "BFW shop". I rate them just as well as the Raptor so wholeheartedly agreeing with Ash. and incidentally the purchase goes some way to supporting the running of this web site.
