hooklinks

[tony01]

hi there

i was curious if the size of the hooklink mattered as i thought the longer hooklink might spook the fish and i just wanted to hear some suggestions! thank!!

IMO it depends on what rig etc you are using, certain rigs suit a shorter hooklength while others are more variable

well well well mr tony

there two main factors you should consider when deciding on the lenth of your hooklength (not hooklink)

find out the bottom you are fishing on if it is gravel then a shorter hooklenth would proberly be best but in weed then a longer one so your bait will land ligtly on top of the weed

hope this helps and you need to adapt to your situation

 

happy fishing turmut:D :D

i tend to use a hooklink about 6 - 61/2 inche long i found perfect but if am having weird bites will go down inche or two because the fish might be getting away without being hooked. :D

Check out the 'complicated rigs' thread in the advanced carp fishing members area, this will get you thinking about the length of your rigs!
