I saw a guy in the next swim catch 6 or 7 decent carp a couple of weeks ago, and when I netted a couple of fish for him, I saw that the hooks he was using were huge!
Although i didn't ask him, they looked to be much bigger than the 6's and 5's that I normally use and if I had to guess, id say that they were at least size 2 wide gapes, which were being fished slip d style with a small barrel shaped wafter of around 12 or 13mm.
It obviously worked for him, but I didn't and still dont understand the reason for such a big hook?
What advantages do they offer over more "normal" sized hooks?
