No mate. A hooklink is used to tie a rig. The rig is then attached to a lead system which can be presented on a leader. Just to confuse you further, there are different types of leader (shock leader, snag leader, leadcore/fluoro/leadless etc etc). Here is a hooklink (labelled "hooklength") presented on a leadcore leader using a helicopter lead system arrangement:

I’ve posted this before. But the whole kit is £130. With wheels waterproof and pretty bomb proof

Some of us struggle with or without lol

You'll need to use tubing instead buddy. You'll struggle to catch without a hooklink 😅

Not many pike come out at night, but there are occasional captures, especially on full moon and at tail end of season. Never freeline, it gives too much movement of the bait and can lead to deep hooked fish. I actually go to 'fixed' leads (sinkers) on my hook trace, around half an ounce, and a 2oz paternostered lead on a weak nylon link, then I can fish a sunken float or surface float. The other rod tends to be ledgered (paternostered), with a floating or popped up bait. Pollan (a type of fish) float, or I use balsa or cork to pop the bait up.

I agree, it’s everywhere you look. We don’t need it here to.

Please don’t , just don’t 8 threads on the other forum that are related or reference to it

Been having a few pike trips this year, nothing special until today. A ledgered pollen produced a 20lb1oz fish. Hadn't been out more than 20minutes
