After a five-year journey of development, the makers of ‘the world’s third hook design’ are ready to go global by connecting with forward-thinking brands, distributors and fisheries who have the passion to turn the game-changing potential of Gripz hooks into sizeable profits.
UK company Pallatrax says its Gripz hooks greatly out-perform barbless hooks and are demonstrably better for fish welfare than barbed alternatives. Add superior Japanese engineering and high-grade wire and you have a hook design that delivers results more often and stays sharper longer.
Since introducing his revolutionary grooved hook design, award-winning Pallatrax owner Simon Pomeroy (main image, left) has collected enthusiastic testimonials from anglers from all parts of the world who have become passionate converts to Gripz.
Armed with this backing from consumers using Gripz patterns for their favourite styles of fishing, Pomeroy is now ready to seek global B2B partners who can match his commitment to disrupting the hooks market and are excited by the rewards that would bring.
Pomeroy has listed the top five reasons for why you should be making contact with Pallatrax today to bring his groundbreaking Gripz hooks to your customers.
1. Astonishing quality
The grooved design of Gripz solves problems for anglers thanks to being neither barbed or barbless. “The grooves are more fish-friendly than barbed hook and they solve the problems of skipping and slippage associated with barbless hooks,” says Pomeroy, who has also been determined to match performance with production quality by seeking out a Japanese manufacturing partner. “Gripz are made in Japan to the highest standards and using the highest quality wire.”
Highly discerning anglers have backed Pomeroy’s claims in reviews online, remarking on the ‘unwavering durability’ of Gripz no matter what the punishment. “I have never had a Gripz hook bend out on me,” told one. Another banked a fish after ten long minutes in the thick weeds of a wild Canadian river, saying it was ‘astonishing’ to still have a solid hold. A third commented: “I’ve even hauled in a tree log with them, with no bend in the hook and still razor sharp.”
The TopCat Fishing Resort in Thailand is now Gripz-only after testing the design. Its owner, Simon Cruddace, says: “The size 2 Gripz Wide Gape is our go-to hook for general fishing. These hooks are strong enough to hold most of the river monsters, but the wire is also fine enough not to damage the more delicate mouths of our carp species. All Pallatrax Gripz hooks are incredibly sharp from the packet.”
2. Longer lasting sharpness
Not only are Gripz hooks razor-sharp out of the box thanks to the chemically sharpened arrow-shaped ‘cutting point’ but they also stay sharper longer – according to the overwhelming verdict of anglers around the world who have switched to fishing’s third design.
Says one fan: “I’ve been on multiple 48-hour and day-long sessions using the same Gripz hooks and they are still just as sharp as the day I put them on.” Another comments: “The hook hold is far superior to all other hooks I have tried. They are super sharp straight out of the pack and stay sharp even after multiple captures.” And a third says: “I am using the same hook on multiple sessions without the need to even sharpen!”
3. Huge sales potential in any market
Gripz has global appeal. That’s because it is a new hook design and not a single pattern. In fact, parent company Pallatrax has already prepared multiple patterns in the Gripz range including straight point, curve shank, wide gape and trebles, with more in development. It means Gripz can appeal – and sell – to anglers worldwide, whether your key market is carp, match, predator or saltwater.
From a resort in Asia comes this testimonial: “Gripz have now accounted for the largest of all of the species in our lake, including a 330lb mekong.” While from Europe, an angler writes: “I use them in my match fishing now, even when barbed or micro barbed are allowed.” And another says: “These hooks give me more confidence than a barbless. I have had carp over 20lb and cats over 50lb.”
4. Unbeatable on fish welfare
The groove design of Gripz is a feature for a win-win situation, says Pomeroy. Anglers catch more and fish are harmed less. “I am not only a tackle supplier, I am a fishery owner, and for me fish welfare is paramount. Gripz are highly functional but also safer for fish than barbed hooks. This is a holistic, long-term approach to fishing.”
It’s a claim supported by anglers who have seen how easily Gripz hooks slip out when they are unhooking their catches. One European angler commented: “The unique design grooves are really kind on the fish, leaving an almost non-existent hook-hold wound, and that’s the best bit for me.” Another praised ‘the tiny ridges on the tip’, saying they ‘create the ultimate hook-hold with no tearing or damage to the fish’s mouth.’ A third said: “The hook is so easy to remove from any fish, making them so fish-friendly with no slipping at all.” One more paid the ultimate compliment, saying: “Gripz is the barbless hook that holds like a barbed. It’s for waters and anglers who care about fish welfare.”
5. Anglers are instantly hooked
If you still need convincing, there are yet more comments from satisfied anglers who have resolved to buy nothing but Gripz. How many anglers like this could you convert in your market?
“Pallatrax Gripz are a game-changer. The hook hold is far superior to all other hooks I have tried, they are super sharp straight out of the pack and stay sharp even after multiple captures. I have used the same hook for months. I won’t use any other hook now.”
“I have no other hooks in my tackle box. Why would I when this is the best hook I can buy?”
“I can honestly say I will never use any other design than Gripz. They have truly amazing qualities and strength.”
“They are simply the best. I have not lost a fish since using Gripz and I will definitely be getting more.”
