Favourite Hooks?

[matttttt]

What are your favourite hooks for on the pole and the waggler?

[carpmagic]

Kamasan B911's or preston PR28's. Could virtually go anywhere with those two!

[Gary]

PR27 for carp work, Kamasan B590 for canal blood & joker, Preston PR30 for commercial B&J

How do you tie pr27's (they're eyed aren't they?) A blood knot? Also why do U prefer them to spade ends? Cheers

Hi Matt only just seen this post. Anyway Giles put me onto these hooks 18 months or so ago and I personally think they are the bees knees and use them for 99% of my big bait work. I tie them exactly the same as a spade end with a hook tie. Remeber to thread the line thru the eye first though.

I prefer the Kamasan B511 for most of my canal work, I actually got away with using them on the river last year when I ran out of B520's, landed Chub to 2lb but everso gently ;D ;D.

Pools I am in between PR24's, B911's and Animals if I really want to go heavier.

It's Kamasan B911 or B711 for me on the commercials.
But for silvers wth maggot or pinkies I like the PR23.
They are very sharp with inturned point for a good hook hold,not always sure that a silver hook is the best though.

What do you reckon does hook colour come into it?

Personally sometimes I think that a silver hook can add to the visual attraction,but not always the case.

Looks like it's Kamasan or Preston for most folk on here!

I would be happy just to use thse 2 makes,although I do sometimes use the Drennon nu hooks for paste.

PR 27 and PR28 did use the 911's but landed a 17lb 10oz carp on the pole at lake john only to hook a bigger one next put in which i lost after a few minutes hook straightened !!!!!

[EJAYAR]

That's where you went wrong then Fred
If I had landed a 17lb Carp on the pole I would not have used the rig again, I would have took it home and framed it ;D ;D ;D
