Best hook for 30mm boilies(homemade obviously lol)

[robaldinho]

whats the best hook pattern for fishin a big 30mm homemade boilie topped with a 15mm pop up? lately i've been using the muggas, these are quite good but i'd just like some different opinions

What Hook are you Comfortable using?

 

I the Carp-R-Us Nailers for nearly all my Fishing. If I can get hold of Owner FLB's I use them.

 

There is no Right or wrong hook, everyone will have their own Preference as to what they think are best.

 

Every Hook Pattern has been tested on my Bench Test Set-up as to how it works best and what hookholds I get. I test Line Aligners, Knotless Knots and see how things work.

 

I also inspect EVERY Hook as to make sure the Eye is properly closed or if I'm using Spade End Owners that the Spade is not too Sharp and likely to cut through the Line.

not quite sure why you would use a 30mm boilie but a size 2 hook would suit although you may want to have a longer hair and smaller hook.

the most important thing however is that whatever hook size, is that it is sharp.

other than location the second most important thing is hook sharpness...

 

30mm you must have huge bream where your fishing

lol i just rolled up some baits a little bigger than that to get past the nuisant smaller carp.

 

had a 4lb common on one last week though

 

i uses size 6 longshanks with a 1cm gap between the hook and bait

id say the hook shape doesnt matter really ,get down a tackle down and have a look.then add shrink tube if needed

 

 

but do think mvodkas on the right road . a long hair about 2-3 inches with about size 10 or 8

 

so the hook can lay flat ,and if it doesnt the hook shouldnt stand out

stick with a size 6 or 8, but use them with a long hair
