I use ESP Big T Raptors for 95% of my fishingcos i prefer a straight pointed hook but agree that they can get blunt quick but i suppose that can be said for most hooks really. You cant do anything about it if they get dinked on a twig, stone or bit of gravel when the carp are moving over your end tackle.
But when im using a silt rig i use Korda Wide Gapes due to the inturned point.
