tronic Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Fishing where curved and long shanked hooks are banned.. Would this hook be classed as a curved hook? http://www.leslies-luton.co.uk/store/product/2211633/GAMAKATSU-G-POINT-SUPER-SIZE-4-PACK-10/ Is for a KD rig, i believe this would be the best hook to use that isn't a curve shank.... opinions? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welder Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 The shank has more straight than curve. A curved shank hook has the curve starting immediately below the eye. This doesn't, so use it. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops_northants Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Are you sure the fishery has banned them or long shank curved hooks (often referred to as a bent hook) If they have then use a different hook set up instead of a kd style hair. Kd is not everything and many other arrangements are as good or in my opinion often better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgart Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 ask them if you have to fish with a straight needle in order to go by the rules. To be honest I've never heard of more ridicilous rules. Who comes up with such stuff? Honestly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
