Re: Chub Hooks
The only hooks I don't like are Drennan Barbel. Just after a few casts they seem to blunt, and my son lost a big fish when the hook straightened.

Re: Chub Hooks
Yes, the only thing worse than a barbless hook is a barbeless one.

I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.

Re: Chub Hooks
Very good. I had to read that twice before I understood. Excellent play on words.

Re: Chub Hooks
most hooks are now very good compared to a few years ago but still need to be a little wary as we do still get the odd few cr#p ones
Yea I can remember the jack Hilton hooks made by partridge of Reditch and good hooks they were too and funnily enough I did use em for chub but were a bit thick on the guauge but saying that you'd obviously need a very strong hook for big carp.
Very true indeed that the final crunch is if a chub snags yer it don't matter what hook you've got on
