861 hook whipped on as if it was a spade hook
12 Animal Hook (eyed tied as spades)

There seems to be a theme here.

I use a B911 eyed tied as a spade.

lol

Couple of reason i tie eyed as spades are.

Hard fighting Carp and spades and the way i play them =

Either spade cutting line or knot slips over spade.

Easy to tie a loop and whip it in the right place for banding.

Hard to get the line i use through an eye due to thickness.

Main reason though is i always forget to put my specs on so cant see the bl00dy eye anyway. Image

Breaking News.

Mr D Wall is now the proud owner of two packs of Daiwa RED HYDRO ( OK I have them and he still has to pay for them and fit them into his pole before the first match.)

Now should we tell him to make sure he ties a knot in it before cutting it or do we just say nothing and sit back and watch. Image Image Image Image

HEHE it always used to cause a few weird comments and looks BEFORE they say it in action. :D

Have to look through the cupboard and see if it's still in the top kit.
