PB Products SURUDOI Curved KD

The pattern that does the turning for you

The Curved KD is an established PB pattern, rebuilt to the SURUDOI standard. It was originally designed around the KD rig, but its curved profile makes it useful far beyond one presentation.

The defining feature is the continuous curve through the shank and into the eye. As the hooklink tightens, that shape encourages the hook to rotate, bringing the point down towards the bottom lip without relying on a long kicker or an extended section of shrink tube.

On a KD rig, the hair leaves the shank close to the eye. That positions the hookbait above the hook and leaves the point hanging below it at an aggressive angle. When the hookbait is taken in, there is clear separation between the bait and the hook, giving the point room to find hold as the rig tightens.

It is particularly well suited to wafters, critically balanced hookbaits and low pop-ups. It can also be fished with a conventional hair when you want the turning mechanics of a curved hook without building an overly complicated rig.
