The 0.19 was on the pellet feeder – I’ve read conflicting things about scaling down pellet/method feeder hooklength diameters in winter, but in my view if a fish is willing to approach a method or pellet feeder then the difference between 0.19 and 0.15 isn’t going to be a deal breaker and I’d rather have the added durability on my side.

Since that match I’ve bought some Guru LWG hooks and made-up some 18 inch hooklengths on 0.13 N-Gauge – when fishing a traditional feeder I do think line diameter makes a difference and as there is more stretch in 18 inches of line (compared to 10cm) I’m happy to scale down.

Cheeky bounce for those that may have missed this last week!
