Anyone know a good hooklink for silt and gravel?

[christoph22]

Can anyone tell me a good hooklink material that is strong and camafllauges its self well in silt and maybe another to use in gravel

 

Iv used alot of snakebite in the past (probably more suited to weed) which has been successful but its green and i think if i choose something more silty coloured then id have more succes as these are the kind of waters i mainly fish

 

Thanks

How about a coated braid namely ESP stripteeze? It's a silty gravely colour & would be ideal for a pop up / neutrally balanced snowman rig to keep the hook out the silt or away from the gravel ensuring it's sharpness.

mantis,its pretty much the same as snakebite but in a gravel colour.

 

use a black marker pen on the snakebite for silt, or to break up the line.

 

but i think green is acceptable on any bottom,as it could just be a bit of weed

It is not a rated hooklink now , but back when stiff mono links were the rage it was (and still is) one of the best going.

 

I would think that many or possibly most Sea Anglers still use Amnesia, it is fairly abrasion resistant as well, and toughness is demanded in Sea fishing.

 

Available in white (clear), red, black or green (green is difficult to find). I found that the black is softest, but may be more obvious on the lakebed than the other colours.

 

It also makes a good shockleader in the 30lb Strain, and I use it in combi-links as the stiff upper section even now
