For decades BKK has been synonymous with innovation, precision and craftsmanship in hook design.
Whether serving commercial longliners to passionate sport fishermen, the brand has built its reputation on one simple promise: when you tie on a BKK hook, you fish with complete confidence.
In 2024, that commitment to innovation was recognised at the world’s largest fishing trade show, ICAST, where the BKK Hooks OCD Tackle Storage System won the coveted Best Tackle Management Award.
Now BKK is preparing to bring that same award-winning concept to Europe with the launch of two new kits tailored specifically for predator anglers: the ArmorPoint OCD Kit – EU Predator Pike and the ArmorPoint OCD Kit – EU Predator Perch and Zander. Each kit is a tournament-ready collection of premium hooks and accessories, offering a one-stop solution for Europe’s most iconic predator species.
The company says: “With this launch, BKK is not only introducing new products – it is delivering a vision of innovation and completeness that sets a new standard in predator fishing.”
The ArmorPoint series represents BKK’s flagship freshwater line – engineered with the brand’s most advanced hook technologies, including Hyper Carbon Steel (HCS) for unmatched strength and hardness and the Super Slide (SS) coating for lightning-fast penetration.
“The concept of the OCD System was born from a simple, but ambitious idea,” explains BKK. “Create a tackle solution that is as meticulously organised and complete as the world’s most detail-driven anglers. Rather than selling hooks in isolation, the OCD Kits combine the essential rigs, trebles, jigheads and accessories for each species and technique in a single, tournament-ready box.
“The system quickly gained global recognition, with the ICAST award serving as proof that BKK’s relentless focus on detail resonates across markets.”
For 2025 BKK has refined this formula for Europe, where predator angling has its own unique traditions, target species and demands.
ArmorPoint OCD Kit – EU Predator Pike
Few fish in Europe inspire more passion – or require more preparation – than the northern pike. Known for explosive strikes and razor-sharp teeth, pike demand tackle that is both powerful and versatile. The BKK Pike OCD Kit answers that call with 25 carefully selected packs totaling 103 premium hooks and accessories, offering anglers a comprehensive arsenal for every scenario.
Key components include:
- Titan Diver – An evolution of the legendary Titan Rider, the Titan Diver is designed for weedless rigging of large plastics. A fixed lead allows anglers to probe deeper structures, while an optional blade attachment adds flash to trigger strikes. With its locking spring and silicone stopper, soft baits remain secure cast after cast.
- Offset Worm WG (HCS) – Built from BKK’s Hyper Carbon Steel, this wide-gap hook offers unmatched strength while maintaining finesse rigging for senkos, shads and creature baits. The Z-bend design reduces plastic slippage, extending the life of baits.
- ArmorPoint HyperLatch 71-SS Treble – Engineered with an acute bottom angle for improved hook-up ratios, this treble ensures jerkbaits run true while delivering maximum penetration and holding power.
- Chain-21 Stinger Rig – A purpose-built stinger for oversized soft baits, its elongated swivels disperse torsional force, minimising thrown hooks. Hardened stainless steel and a stealthy black nickel coating make it virtually indestructible yet invisible underwater.
- Round Elite Stinger Jighead – Designed with an additional eyelet for adding blades or stingers, this jighead expands rigging options. Its forged shank and SS coating deliver the strength and sharpness required to land trophy pike.
Together, these elements make the Pike Kit a true tournament-ready solution allowing anglers to cover every tactic from weedless swimbaits to stinger-rigged shads.
ArmorPoint OCD Kit – EU Predator Perch & Zander
If the Pike Kit is about brute force, the Perch & Zander OCD Kit is about precision. Perch and zander fishing in Europe demands finesse, versatility and adaptability across techniques. With 26 packs totaling 143 premium hooks and accessories, this kit provides the ultimate one-stop solution for anglers chasing two of Europe’s most technical predators.
Features include:
- Offset Worm EWG-Chebu – Featuring an oversized eye for pairing with Cheburashka weights, this hook provides unmatched freedom of movement and natural presentations. The wide gap and HCS wire deliver both finesse and power.
- Spear-21 UVO – A treble hook featuring BKK’s UV-active orange coating, which boosts visibility in the water column and triggers reaction bites in low-light or stained conditions.
- Spear Stinger 7×7 Wire – Crafted from premium 49-strand stainless steel, this supple stinger provides natural lure action without compromising strength. Equipped with Spear-21 SS trebles, it offers lightning-fast penetration.
- Refrax Jighead – A high-performance jighead with 3D holographic eyes, multi-faceted finishes and dual-wire bait keepers. Constructed from HCS, it combines durability with finesse. Sizes and weights are clearly stamped for quick rigging efficiency – a detail appreciated by competition anglers.
Whether fishing vertically for zander on reservoirs or targeting perch along weedy banks, the Perch & Zander Kit ensures anglers are ready for every situation.
“Predator angling in Europe is a world of extremes. Anglers may fish vast Scandinavian lakes for trophy pike one day and target perch on pressured canals the next. Techniques range from Cheburashka rigs and dropshotting to trolling and jigging. What unites them all is the need for hooks and rigs that are sharp, strong and reliable.
“BKK’s OCD Kits are designed to meet these exact needs. By combining carefully curated components in one kit, BKK eliminates the guesswork for anglers and provides distributors with a high-value product that simplifies assortment planning.”
Each kit is also species and technique-specific, ensuring anglers have not only the right hooks but also the confidence that their gear is tournament-grade. This alignment with local fishing culture is key to BKK’s European strategy.
At the heart of BKK’s philosophy lies a simple principle: craftsmanship through obsession. Every hook is designed, tested and refined with a level of detail that mirrors the mindset of the world’s most demanding anglers.
“The expansion of the OCD system into Europe reflects BKK’s broader mission: to provide anglers across the globe with premium, high-performance solutions that inspire confidence and success on the water. With the combination of award-winning innovation, advanced materials like Hyper Carbon Steel and Europe-specific design, BKK is positioning itself as the clear leader in predator tackle.
“As the company continues to expand globally, it remains rooted in its heritage of engineering hooks that empower anglers to push their limits – whether in competition or on personal quests for trophy fish.
“The arrival of the ArmorPoint OCD kits for pike and perch and zander marks a defining moment for BKK in Europe. More than just tackle boxes, these kits are a statement that BKK understands the challenges of Europe’s predator fisheries and is committed to equipping anglers with the very best.
“For distributors, they represent a high-value, ready-to-sell package backed by an award-winning concept. For anglers, they mean one thing above all: complete confidence that every rig, hook and jighead has been engineered for Europe’s toughest predators.
“With its latest launch, BKK is not just entering the European predator market – it is raising the standard. And for those who live by the strike, that standard matters.”
