Thanks all. Most of those things I was already doing, one I may try is the out turned eye. Will give it a go on the local runs stretch of the canal. Might also give the combi rig a go too

Hi all, many moons ago I tried fluorocarbon as a hook link material. But when I hooked a fish it always gave around the eye of the hook and I lost sommany fish that I've never used I since. I was using a normal knotless knot and a fairly normal hook pattern (I think). I'd like to give it another go but would rather not loose any fish again. Anyone got any tips or explanations as to why it kept breaking? I know fluorocarbon is a bit temperamental but enough people use it. Cheers
