tony01 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenburm Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 IMO it depends on what rig etc you are using, certain rigs suit a shorter hooklength while others are more variable Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdavpedley Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humpy Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
