Mr Hinks Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Recommend me a decent hook for Perch. Ideally an eyed hook not too heavy a gauge with a wide gape and a long shank. The hooks I've been using for drop shotting are far too big. The companies that have dedicated hooks for drop shotting have nothing other than size 1s to 4s. What I would prefer would be size 10s to 12s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangler Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Try trout hook (E1A Hooper long shank fine wire trout hooks Partridge size 8-20) Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hinks Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks, that's an excellent idea never thought of Trout hooks. The gauge and round bend are perfect but I would prefer an out turned eye. I will have a look for Trout with hook with an out turned eye. Thanks tangler that's great.
