...and the talon tip ones
I've been using these for most of this season. Great hook for the ££
very underrated hook chris
Just wish they did a couple of sizes smaller as well,i have their 8's that i use for meat and boilies and their great
Yes,I've got some of these,a strong sharp hook although sizing is a bit on the large size.I have some 8's which look more like a size 6 to me.I use them with a big lump of meat and bury the hook in it and had some success.I flattened the barb as I thought it was slightly too big.I tend to stick with what I know,I've had the same type of shoes and clothes for years and don't go for the latest fashions(you've probably noticed
).That's why I will miss the Mustad pattern,it's a superb hook,very strong and sharp and the typical wide gape,short shank and beaked point that makes it ideally suited for hair rigs and barbel.I can't recall ever pulling out of a fish with the Mustads and with a small micro barb it pops out easily with no damage to the mouth.I've never had one straighten out on a fish and they are good over gravel with a turned over point a rarity.I just wish that manufacturers would continue making quality gear and not go for the latest trends.
