Surudoi Stinga Chod

The ultimate pop-up presentation

The Stinga Chod is built specifically for chod rigs and other stiff pop-up presentations. Its out-turned eye allows stiff materials such as Chod Mono to leave the hook in line with the shank, rather than being forced around an in-turned eye.

Short shank, wide gape and an out-turned eye.

That eye position is the key to the pattern. It allows the hook to sit at the correct angle on a stiff hook section, keeping the presentation free to rotate and helping the hook turn when the rig is picked up.

The short shank keeps the hook compact beneath the pop-up, while the wide gape leaves plenty of room for the hook to take hold.

Use it on a chod rig, hinged stiff rig or any presentation built with a stiff hooklink material. It is particularly suited to fishing over silt, light weed and chod, where the pop-up needs to sit above debris rather than disappear into it.

This is a specialist pattern designed around stiff materials and buoyant hookbaits, not an all-round hook trying to cover every presentation.
