Aye probably the same, though i'd go with bigger hooks.

Rather miss a small fish from using a big hook than a big fish from using a small hook.


Pulley would be a very close second.
Make a difference - take home 1 piece of someone's angling litter next time you are out fishing.

the size 1's will bring in most fish, except for the reel monsters of the deep. good hook choice imo

Normally use a flapper Based on a pulley system. No crimps or stop knots. Just swivels and Beads.
Oh! and size 4 hooks

its ment to be a shockleader dave but as you said knot are a bit bulky so its no good an i like a supple leader but for rig body nothin comes close to it.Its very stiff an really reduces tangles an gives great rig presentation.its £10 a spool though :cry:
