  4. Preferred Hook of choice for zig fishing

    in UK Rig Tying

    Posted

    In my opinion you would be better of with smaller/lighter hooks than those mentioned.

     

    A simple £1 pack of size 12/10 Drennans will do the trick :)

     

    The hooks mentioned do all work granted- used them my self- but i found i caught more with the Drennans, they are also alot cheaper :wink:

     

    For the price of one pack of 10 Armapoints, you can get 4 packs of Drennans in 4 different variations- barbed- different sizes etc, you will drop onto the winning formulae :)

     

    agreed i use the drennan super specialists, very light but reliable hook. £1 a pack is a great money saver!

  7. What Rigs Are Good And Reliable Catchers?

    tbh the rigs I

    continually use no. Are just the

    lead clip system from Korda and the chod rig also by Korda.

    I seem to always do well with these and in some

    conditions change the hooklink length to suit.

    Thanks for your help :)

    If they are working, don't change them! unless you go to a venue that needs a change. Otherwise you might start messing with your head with all the rigs available when you dont need them.

    I have deicided that i will buy pre-made for some time to perfect my rig making as they are not great!!! and i will just use mono in future i found braid hard to tie knots with so hopefully my daiwa sensor brown line i just ordered will do the job for now.Cheers.

    The general rule is the pound rating of the line should be able to land 4 times its weight so 8lb should be able to manage a 32lb fish.

     

    I use a 15lb syfix synergy mainline and 15lb Korda IQ hooklink. Its all down to personal choice.

     

    Looking around i have noticed that you can get the korda IQ hooklink stuff extra soft or just normal . Which one should i use? i don't really understand the different version thing, would the extra soft break easier?

    make your mainline 15lb its safer, not neccersary but it would be easier, if your are going to use a braid hooklink use a silk braid such as kryston silkwormbecuase it is much niver to the fish also when you figure out how long ten metres will last you it is worth it.

     

    Ah that was my question is it better to use braid or monofilament? or is it personal preference?

    one other thing baring in mind i'm still beginner but i don't understand why i can buy lots of monofilament hooklink line for cheaper than small amounts of braid does everyone here use braid for making their hair rigs or this monofilament stuff?

    i guess i was lucky the other day when i caught my pb with a 7lb line difference! that's buying pre-made hair rigs for you, they had none smaller than 15lb! and my mainline is 8lb. Just a quick thought i was thinking of perhaps getting stronger mainline what would an 8lb mainline be able to catch up to?

    Well i've been buying pre-made hair rigs only to find how bloomin expensive it is turning out to be as they get broken and lost very often! but i look at the braids and monofilament you can use to make them your self but they cost alot for only about 10m of line. Does anyone know of any reliable material for hair rigs that isn't too costly? I heard sufix magic touch is a good monofilament or should i be using braid for hair rigs?
