what size and pattern hook should i use for fishing paste in the margins , or for tht matter fishing paste in the margins and in open water.

Depends on the size of fish im expecting to catch and the size of bait im expecting to use. For me 175s are the best carp paste hook. I use 808s on venues where i expect F1s and small stockies. I use hooks in size 20s-12s for paste. Size 16s and 14s are my most often used paste hook on venues with a mix of different sizes of carp and F1s. Im happy that i can land some very big carp on a size 2 (16) 175 but im also able to use a small ball of paste if thats what the fish want. The same sized hook is still ok for a very large ball of paste. If thats what the fish are feeding best on.

[PaTicle]

Fox 2’s for 5lb+ or B911’s for <5lb either 14 or 12

I used to use Drennan Nu Hooks 14 & 12’s extra carp and swear by them. But now a mate has nearly converted me fully to Kamasan animals very strong & sharp was put off by the nickel colour at first but once in paste it doesn’t matter.

i fish paste alot i use kammasan b911’s in size 14 and 16 in the open water and pr36 in the margins in a size 12 or 14 this is my personal oppinion others may vary but i have tryed alot of other hooks and i tend to loose less fish when i use these pattern of hooks…
