neilscatchin Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 Gardner Muggas or Incizors(short and longshank) strong,sharp and reliable. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 korda long shanks or wide gap Quote
andy_galloway Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 I am currently using korda's hybrid range, cant fault these hooks, much better than esp's. Quote
warbo Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 ive just started using the korda wide gapes and there great Quote
jakey Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 I am also using the short shank nailers by carp r us, they work perfectly with the inturned eye. Quote
leeboy728 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 i use the fox series 2 and these have to be the worse hooks i have ever used they are sharp but go blunt easy and they bend easy and the point always bends, i have changed to korda wide gape and they are much better:D :D Quote

humpy Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 the trouble is with the raptor they don't stay sharp and tend to bend at an angle but have had no problems with korda hooks wide gape, nash fangs , gardner muggas:D Quote
ian23 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 korda longshank for bottom baits and i use the nash fang for pop ups, havnt dropped a fish yet this season on these patterns:) Quote
coops_northants Posted August 24, 2005 Report Posted August 24, 2005 Lost more fish this year on Korda long shanks that any other hook at any time ever. Still use raptors myself but stick to the smaller sizes. Had best results on the new range of mustad hooks, stayed sharp and held lovely i think its jus tthe shine that puts people off Quote
