Maybe it could be an important contribution for people to mention what brand they are using in addition to the size? I've been using korda size 8 wide gape and also have a few rigs on Nash size 8 wide gape but they are tiny! I've also used a fox size curved longshank

Well I think this thread alone has given me some confidence to try a 6 or 4 hook. So many people regularly using those sizes. Plus I agree it's true that even small single figure carp certainly have a mouth plenty big enough for those hook sizes

Sounds very much like larger hooks is the way to go, it's not really something I've ever had the confidence to try as I've come from a coarse fishing background and now wanting to target bigger carp.

Sorry it should of said Kordas youtube videos haha predictive text!! Most waters I fish are doubles waters and not full of huge carp. He was using a Korda Krank hook with this rig. One of the main reasons I'd thought of going bigger is because I fish margins a lot and feel like I see lots of fish activity and fish bolting off but without a run so wondered if the small hook I was using just wasn't catching hold

Hello Recently watched one of the lord's YouTube videos on the Ronnie rig and the guy was using a size 4 hook with this rig (granted he was chasing monsters) but I felt very convinced by using a larger hook than I do currently. At the moment I've never gone larger than a size 8 and tend to use 15mm boilies/popups or smallish chunk of pepperami. What's everyone's thoughts on this argument?
