Exactly. My hook size has been trending up over the last few years but now doing well (I would say better) with size 6 (pop ups) and 8s (bottom baits and small pop ups).

I must be the only out there using size 8’s??
Using old ESP Raptor curve shanks ( bought in bulk) or the newer cryogenic curve shank replacements.
10mm pop ups, 6 inch boom, not had a hook pull to date and had quite a few fish on a difficult venue where the smaller presentation seems to pay off judging by other people’s results generally

Size 6 mugga 12m pop up ,60 or so carp nailed with only 1 hook pull ,minimum of 3 oz lead.

Kranks are utter dog toffee IMO.
J Precision curves in a size 4...or their wide gapes also in a 4

Use 2. Its not going to result in less bites and it has the best holds.

J precision hooks size 6 long shank curve.

I’ve been using it with size 6 angling iron curves, used a 12mm pop up and landed 13 from 13 so far, mates that have used it with bigger hookbaits have experienced hookpulls, I only use it for fishing a low pop up over bits and pieces, if I’m fishing boilies il use a multi or a chod.

I experienced Hook pulls with size 4 barbless Kranks with a ronnie.
Its a barbless water and alot of weed, wide gapes have been recommended to me, but im unsure?

Another one for the size 4 muggas, my favourite hooks
|
|
|

Mugga hooks every time rather than Krank hooks, never had a problem with size  but I also prefer using a size 4 on this rig

Check the hook bead isn’t slipping and is correctly positioned

J precision long shank curve size 6 👌
Only had 1 hookpull out of 30 fish landed this year

What size were the fish and how sharp were your hooks?
|
|
|

In reply to Post #4
Both bottom left lip hook holds on the ones landed. Approx. 6in boom.
Looks as though it is a hook size thing, judging by the answers. I'll get on the size 4's and see how I fare.

Also had issues with 6s. Swapped to 4s and 2s and the problem went away.

In size 4 Muggas I haven’t lost a fish, size 4 kranks I’ve had the hooks pull and straighten. Where were the fish you landed hooked? And how long a boom?

Size 6 hooks Charlie.

In reply to Post #1
What size hook were you using? It seems to be a more common occurrence when using the rig with smaller hooks.

Used Ronnie Rigs for the first time over the weekend, had four hook ups but two resulted in hook pulls. Is this something that anyone else has an issue with?
