pineaplepopup Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 me too but what would be the advantages in differtent situations using the long shank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trees Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 dunno myself but seem to catch much more fish on the wide gapes. Have tried Longshanks and never had much luck on them and don't feel confident about them. The only reason I can see to use longshanks is to tie more complicated rigs that require more space on the hook to do so (blowback rigs etc...).

carp_mad_man Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I ALWAYS USE LONG SHANKS BECAUSE OF THE STRAIGHT POINT IT WILL CATCH HOLD QUICKER THEN ANY OTHER. btw i would use wide gapes as pop up rig and long shank for anything but poping up the wide gapes are smaller and i would think lighter to.
