I have always worked on the KISS principal!

Mainly because I am not clever enough to understand how all these hi-tech rigs work.

I have noticed that some anglers over complicate things to an astonishing extent!

complicating things can mean less fish on the bank in most cases
 
If this constitutes high jacking the thread please tell me and I will start a new one. I was just wanting to know what preferences you guys had for your hook length? I am using Korda braid at the moment but would like some options, any thoughts?
 
Hi phil im a big fan of esp sinklink in 10lb and 12lb, sinks well and is really supple but wouldn't recommend it around rocks and snags. Any snags or rocks around i use fox coretex in 15lb. Tight lines
 
Phil again it's preference but where I fish a good tough mono is needed. Rocky swims need tough line, nothing wrong with good old maxima. When you've caughta fish on the Trent in most areas just run your fingers down the hook length. You'll see then whywe use tough line.
