Proper blast from the past there Dave!
I’ve done the same with conti’s - it is possible to bend them but they are definitely weaker & it’s too much of a risk when I can just add a kicker.

Bending hooks does weaken them.

Fluoro D rigs are great with chod hooks 👍🏻

I used to do this with drennan boilie hooks but the temper of the wire was so good the eyes would snap off too much when bending.
Easier to use some sort of kicker to straighten the line angle.

Bending hooks is a bad idea, it weakens them.

Moved to Rigs section.
Also are there other rigs other than chod rigs that chod hooks are good for
You can use chod hooks (out-turned eye) for Multi-Rigs and I'd suggest any rigs where you are using a stiff hook link material.
Just my opinion there.

Hi all, i bought a shed load of korda Kaptor chod hooks off fishing outlet, Is it ok to bend the eye straight so i can use them for other rigs? will this weaken the hook? also are there other rigs other than chod rigs that chod hooks are good for, sorry being a noddy here...TIA.
