Preferred Hook of choice for zig fishing

I use Foam a lot with Zigs and i attach it on a D with no ring for 'movement' as i think the fish take differently in the upper layers. Not only from a different angle but also a different approach so i like a beaked point. ESP Raptors are my choice, usually an 8/10.

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!

i think an out turned eye works better.any make will do ,as long as its sharp

 

As the weather picks up, I thought I would re-run this thread.

 

The general concencus seems to be its got to be light and sharp...but other than that- everything seems to work.

 

Surprised Danny's missed that trick :lol: K-Ziggers.

 

But seriously- Does anyone have any other views on what makes a good Zig hook. Anecdotal thinking would suggest a 'chod' style hook would give the best hooking potential.
