Fluro hook link (boom)

[Ginger9991]

So,

Went full Korda last night. I recently brought my dad all the gear they use for the ronnie rigs they were using (at his request), And because im a good son...and i knew he would ask anyway i tied a ton up for him. Stole a few for myself as well to have a little go. Done the night on a bit of a runs water, Had 2 bites 1 fish i guess was about 6 and maybe one a scraper double by the looks of it.....but i bumped them both off under the rod tip.

So i dont usually lose many fish at all, and without landing one of these i couldnt tell where the hook hold was (both bites were at night) so im a bit confused. I was using about 7" of boom onto a size 6 (i know the korda vids were using bigger hooks, but for the stamp of fish i didnt really think it neccessary. I didnt drop the lead otherwise this place would cost a fortune! so i was just wondering if thats a bit of a characteristic of a flurocarbon hooklink or if something else could have been wrong. Going to have to get back to that lake again and play about with longer hook links and bigger hooks..... 7" is surely long enought though....confused!

I found hook holds were all over the place on size 6's. When I upped to a size 4 they seemed to be much, much more consistent.

Cheers Yonny. I did have a rig out there with a size 6 but typically that rod remained silent all night. I still use 8's for most of my fishing so jumping to 6 was quite a jump, let alone 4's!
