Hello Neil , I use them all the time , found them to be great hooks .
I’ve only had a couple of hook pulls with pallatrax, percentage wise minimal.
I really rate them .
I can understand that , although I can’t imagine the smaller diameter would make a huge amount of difference regarding resistance.
Fundamentally it’s what ever one feels confident using .
I can’t see any advantage using braid . Used to use it as a main line years ago fishing for bream at range , during my match fishing years . But for barbel fishing I wouldn’t bother .
Morning John , everyone I know , including myself, uses the Korum ones . Cheap and cheerful. I’ve never had any problems with it . Does take up a lot of room on the bank though.
