me and my brother both fished on zig rigs on sunday for the first time and we both lost two fish each.we struck as usual,the rig consisted of an inline lead with 10lb drennan line (10ft in lenght) and size 10 hook .

we just wondered if we are doing something wrong.

hello

I am NO expert but have been fishing hard water for a while with no success size 8 hooks

One of the regulars was chatting to me recently and when he saw my rigs he immediately advised me to use bigger hooks size 4-6! he seemed to think that it would hel both to increase hooking when using a bolt rig and also reduce hook pulls when striking / playing.

Dont know if this helps just passing on ino

I tried the bigger hooks at a fishery (i like to call these places buckets or barrels as is so easy like fishing in a barrell ) and it did increase my hooking efficiency with bolt rig/shocker rig

Cheers
