I'm pretty sure that's it mate.

Ooohhhh I don't know Phil. Where's Dal when you need him

As far as I know the Europe league spot in the champions league is an extra incentive for clubs to take it more seriously and means that you will still get the 4 places from the league. On another note our boys better buck their ideas up in the champions league because we are getting close to going back down to 3 teams.

It's a marmite draw for me personally. I love it and hate it

If see a packet of hooks with the label "made by yonny" I'm getting me some!!!!

They're just not strong enough for my liking bud. That said, I'm a Nene Valley chap so have to deal with serious weed on most waters. Dude - My experience, as QA Manager for a manufacturer of heat treated carbon steel fasteners (the same process used to make hooks) for the automotive industry, tells me it's a fact that if the yield point is exceeded even once, you've weakened the hook significantly - spring rate is compromised so the hook cannot absorb shock as intended. Therefore when stresses on the hook reach a certain level the hook WILL bend rather than flex - it's just a question of whether those stress levels will be reached while the fish is being landed. I'm not saying you can't land fish on modified hooks (as you say, plenty have been landed), just that IMO it's not worth the risk - it's asking for trouble fella.

Got the hooks, am happy so far, oddly the size 12 is pretty much exactly the same as the 10. Possibly slightly wider gape on the 10. I got 27lb on the scales before the size 8 bent, so I'm happier than the 15lb I got on the size 4 krank. Sorry mufty I couldn't see a straight eyed version
