Fine wire hook on hair for magott or caster

[andy jonesParticipant]

Has anyone used 22’s or 24’s fine wire on end of
hair for maggot or caster instead of maggot clip.

you can only use one hook Andy. (apart from Lancashire)

[TF_Getinback]

Be careful there – you will be using two hooks which may be against rules.

I have used it in the past, but u need to bend it a bit more so it is not technically a hook anymore.

[bodgeParticipant]

use fuse wire, easy to thread on multiple baits too

[TF_AnthonywatersParticipant]

Seen it used before by cheats on matches

[andy jonesParticipant]

So when is a hook not the actual catching hook!
The fine wire if hooked into a decent fish would hopefully straighten out.~think

I remember seeing this method demonstrated by Mr Hayes about 8 years ago on sky . it churned my guts then ~sick

If its for carp fishing, use what the carp boys use, bait ring, it goes on a hair rig and you threat your maggots/caster on…great method

[TF_Gary]

You can use two hooks in parts of Yorkshire too, I think Nigel. I definitely recall seeing double-hook rigs in use at Worsborough Reservoir, near Barnsley.

Thats Funny Gary, my post has gone missing!

I had said, you can only use 1 hook, except in Lancashire.

[TF_Smed]

lol mines gone missing too
i said “what do you mean nigel in lancs only?)

[TF_simon pavey]

Mine too, gone.. It was only my opinion and wasn’t offensive surely?

[TF_MarkT]

The double hook i think it’s the North west area, it was used alot on carr mill dam many moons ago and still is i think!!
