Description
The Cox & Rawle Specimen Extra Short Hook (SCR29XS) is a highly specialized hook pattern that takes the features of their heavy-duty specimen hook and modifies the shank length for specific rigging and fishing situations.
This hook is designed for anglers targeting larger, powerful fish (specimens) where a combination of immense strength and a compact profile is needed.
Key Features and Specifications
| Feature | Details |
| Model Code | SCR29XS (The XS denotes Extra Short, distinguishing it from the standard SCR29 Specimen Extra hook) |
| Shank | Extra Short Shank. This is the defining feature. The shorter shank provides a more compact profile, often preferred for large fish that tend to swallow the hook deep, or when fishing in areas with heavy structure or snags where a long shank might snag. |
| Pattern Base | It is a Short Shank version of the heavy wire big mouth Aberdeen hook. |
| Wire & Strength | Heavy Wire with a Forged Bend. Like the standard Specimen Extra (SCR29), it is an X-strong hook built for durability and fighting large predatory fish (e.g., Cod, Bass, Rays, Huss). |
| Gape | Wide Gape. The wide gap remains to accommodate large natural baits (such as fish chunks, large worm cocktails, or squid sections) while ensuring good hook-up potential. |
| Point & Barb | Micro-Barb. A small, secure barb designed to hold the fish while minimizing damage. |
| Eye | Straight-Eye. |
| Finish | Black Nickel Finish. |
| Application | Ideal for open water and estuary fishing where you need a strong hook that presents a large bait but with a more condensed profile than a standard-length hook. The shorter shank can also be beneficial in minimizing leverage when fighting a large fish. |
