  As said above, b560 & 3405, i use the kamasan for bigger skimmers or when chance of bream and the sensas when skimmers and more roach.

  B511 too bendy ? You’re using the wrong hook then. For canal roach & skimmers it’s spot-on. But if you’re catching lots and lots of fish and speeds an issue then you need something with a longer shank to get hold of.

  B511`s or if I expect bigger fish using a bigger bait I`ll use B560`s. (I mean bigger skimmers and perch)

  B511 is also silver! And he wants something stronger for bigger fish! So, as the 1st man said B560 or B711.

  Cant go wrong with them hook patterns for canal bream, skimmers , roach & hybrids. B511s for bread and hemp , awesome hook !

  B511,(B512 if u can still get your hands on them), for general silver fish and skimmers. Sensa 3405 if u need slightly heavier.
  B560 is the hook I use on the rivers for silvers but can also be used on canal for caster or light chop fishing.~clap

  If using barbed and lots of perch to be caught VMC 9031 not exactly wide gape but sharp and stay sharp, fine wire ex-strong.
  
  Can usually get away with a bigger size.
