Re: Hooks for floating crust
I have just ordered some new hooks a total of 60 eyed barbless Raptor G-4 In various sizes, 6 packets of 10 for £12
I wonder if Chris Yates still uses the Raptor G-4

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Nothing but Drennans Specialist and Wide Gape Spaecialist for me anymore, not only for floaters but for all kinds of bait (ok, Pike, Zander and Catfish are a different matter).
Cheap, sharp and proven by the test of time.

Yes, I am in the process of moving from Raptor to Drennan specialist and/or wide Gape specialist, this season will be my testing ground.Grubenreiner wrote:Nothing but Drennans Specialist and Wide Gape Spaecialist for me anymore, not only for floaters but for all kinds of bait (ok, Pike, Zander and Catfish are a different matter).

Re: Hooks for floating crust
Ime a great fan of Gamakatsu G point specialist wide gape. Never let me down, a good strong light hook. Available barbless or micro.

Re: Hooks for floating crust
I started using the twisters for surface and bottom fishing last year. I think they were designed for fishing weedy waters, but I've found they do well in various situations.FarliesBirthday wrote:Absolutely Pedro - I hardly seem to miss a surface take when I use one.Pedro wrote:I have now switched to the Nash fangs,great sharp strong hooks.the best on the market in my opinion

I agree, Blackadder, - they seem ideal in many ways, - and so sharp!Blackadder wrote:I started using the twisters for surface and bottom fishing last year.
