        i’ve been very happy with kamasan b911s for quite
        some time now.
        however now the winter is upon us i thought i’d have a
        go with some drennan silverfish maggot hooks due to the slightly finer gauge wire.
        i think my search will continue though as in a match on thursday i had three hooks go blunt and one straighten slightly and also lost around 4-5 fish too.
        so should i stick with my trusted 911s or has anyone got a better idea?

              the best hooks ive ever used for f1 fishing were maver katana series 3s in a 16 perfect pellet hook fine wire but very strong never sprung open stopped making them a few years ago never found any thing to replace them im in the same boat as you mate so if anybody got any of these please pm me and ill buy any amount of quantity off you

                tubertini 808’s they are exactly the same pattern as a 911 but finer wire gauge.

                  I quite like the Tubertini 808’s and also the silverfish pellet.

                    aye i was thinking about the 808s are they up to proper speed fishing then?
                    it’s for fishing covey at partridge so your still catching a lot of fish even at this time of year.

                      try the tubertini 801 if u are not going to hook any lumps they look very fine but if careful you can land carp

                                808’s are a nice hook, just watch out you don’t buy a springy batch.

                                      it does seem that a lot of the manufactorors suffer from good and bad batches.
                                      i was using doubled 5 flouro slip so i was really suprised when i straightened the hook.

                                      the middy hooks do look good i’ll see if ian at stalybridge stocks them on monday.

                                                      try the silverfish match ones they are a lot better

                                                        Personally i wouldnt use a middy hook again after having several bad experiences with their pellet hooks and hair rig hooks straightening on reasonably small fish.~think

                                                        I have also looked recently at the Alan Scothorne Mustad Penetration Carp hook, they seem pretty fine but i havent got round to using them yet if anyone has???

                                                              I’ve been using the silver fish maggot since they came out and find them brilliant for winter f1’s but strong enough to land carp too.

                                                              Can’t remember one going blunt or bending, maybe you got a bad batch?

                                                              Only other hooks i use on the pole for winter commercials are silver fish pellet if the carp are bigger or gamma blacks when it’s hard or you’re looking for more silvers.
