  I seem to be pulling out of a lot of fish when paste fishing. Also when i land some fish the hook hasn’t penetrated the lip properly but looks to be just wedged behind the lip. I changed the hook regularly in case they were losing their point. I was using B911 in a size 12 but am wondering what everyone else uses as i feel these are not either sharp enough or are made of too heavy wire ??? I must have lost a good 30lb of fish off today which cost me the match as i was 10lb behind the winner. Any suggestions please.

  Tubertini 175s are what you need. Very sharp and strong. You will land more fish with these hooks than anything else i have tried. Amazing hook holding power from these hooks and great shape for paste fishing!

  t175 here too
  if you do need to use a b911 then try a smaller hook
  the bigger the hook the more they seem to open out i found!
  if your fishing for animals then try the fox series2 hooks they just dont bend lol!

  I wasn’t foul hooking them as the hook was pulling out as i was netting them. On quite a few when i landed them the hook hadn’t penetrated properly but seemed to be just nicked behind the lip. I changed my hook several times and the first few fish were hooked fine then it started again. It was as if they were going blunt very quickly. I don’t know if it was anything to do with keeping the hooklengths stored in a case where the hook is fixed in a foam strip ??
