What are you favourites hooks?

[Simon Archer]

I wonder sometimes if I actually need a hook......

Joking aside, I bought a job lot of ESP Raptors a few years ago, before they were discontinued. Very similar to the Drennan Barbel hooks. The Raptors are probably my go to hook.

I also have the Bank tackle ones as well.

I've used bank tackle, gardner talon-tips, and korda wide-gapes, and all have straightened when I've had a big fish on - so lost

I've used bank tackle, gardner talon-tips, and korda wide-gapes, and all have straightened when I've had a big fish on - so lost faith. I'm now using Korum S5, which so far have been perfect.

Hi Richard
try using Gamakatsu teflon coated G-Point hooks. Incredibly strong, 100% won't straighten and stay very sharp. The only hook I now use when after Barbel.

Yes the G-points are excellent

Another vote for the Bank Tackle wide gape barbless (10s & 8s). Also a good source for swivels, PVA bag clips etc.

For float fishing I use Kamasan Animal spades mostly size 8 for cubed meat. Look for ebay sellers doing deals on multi packs e.g. 5 x packs of 10 hooks if you cannot get them at your local retailer.
