I'm fishing a french lake on the 30th, the owner says everyones moving upto size 4 hooks , because there all getting loads of hook pulls on 8-12s..
I normally fish size 8 wide gapes with a 14mm by 18mm dumbell and fish quite well....tight to snags. e.g reeds,trees ect
Do you think its just the way there fishing and I should fish my norm , or shall i fish there way n fish 4s to 6s.
its a small lake with carp upto 54.clay bottom.
please someone give there opinion because i cant see how a size 4 with a smallish hookbait would act right.
