I think the others come in a normal packet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the others come in a normal packet? The normal ones used to come in a little clear plastic box with a blue label on it. But I haven't used them for about 15 years, so they may have changed.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 starpoints were the worst carp hook ive ever used they used to cut there way out of the fish causing damage and fish losses they were absolute pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Have had no problem with them. I still use them for Chub and Floater fishing at times. I do often bend the eye forward though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
