Hairrigging with smaller than a size 18 ?

[TF_AnthonywatersParticipant]

Pr 36s that I use only go down to a size 18 does anybody know of any patterns that could be use for hairigging in size 20s ?

Fox Series 2 ~clap

Bag up would they be ok for 4mm pellet on 0.10 in the depth of winter ?

Series 2 are quite large for their size. If only using 0.10 try B911 eyed or drennan eyed barbless carp or eyed carp match.

Don’t eyed b911’s go down to a 20~think

Yeah they do Stu Im wondering if somebody has designed a size 20 hair rig hook for F1s I have tried using a few patterns including 20s in 911 and the hook sprung forward a litle to much for my liking, maybe i should bend the eyes back like 36s ?

the fox used to be good but last summer got a few packets that the hook just split in hals and an 18 b911 is smaller than a 20 fox series 2, I would try pr 27 if I were you they are a great hook

You will have forgotten the answer by the time you need it next winter – We are just going into spring bagging ~think

i caught 21 carp to 12lb down the edge at larford yesterday all on the same pr36 size 18.
i caught very well on a small method too, i was using a qm1 size 18 on that rig.
i have to say they give cracking hook holds but the only thing i’m not keen on is i find them quite fiddly to get out sometimes.

Guru 18’s are small, why are you wanting to go smaller.

[steveevans99]

why would you hair rig smaller what baits you using???

[TF_AnthonywatersParticipant]

Steeve im using 4mm banded pellet in a hair in winter and jsut wondered if a 20 hook would be more effective fishing for small F1s and they are quit finiky.

Make some hook lengths up with hair rigs with spade end hooks of your choice. Its a fiddly job but you can add a band to the tag end of any spade end hook if you take your time and be very patient. Its not a quick job and you will make mistakes but it can be done if you take your time. I,ve been making hair rigs with spade end hooks for years to get a better choice of hooks to use when hair rigging.
