right fellas could do with some advice/help lately ive been using  these hooks 18-22s size and ive had some decent days fishing the canal fishing caster over a super cup/brown crum mix another bit of advice off here
cheers .but ive been getting a few decent perch in the mix any where from .5lb-1.5lb and when ive netted them ive noticed that next few fish ive been bumping them  .on ive noticed that the hook as been blunt so ive changed hook lengths but i really would like`something that stays alot sharper longer is there such a hook in existance or do i have to take it on the chin and carry on  any help appreciated

Try a kamsan b651 pal there a feeder hook or say so on the pack but a brill perch hook in small sizes for caster/maggot or big sizes for lobby.good luck.

cheers scott but im mainly fishing for roach til i over feed a few too many casters and the bloody footballers turn up and the roach disapear for a bit

You will be hard pushed to beet a 511 but a tubertini series 2 is a good hook.good luck again pal.

kamsan b560 best of both worlds light enough for roach and still strong enough for perch.the best light caster maggot hook in my opinion.

Sharki,

Tried every hook for perch; come to the conclusion that there isn't such an animal. Some are better than others though as listed on previous posts.
Perch are a bit different than most other species. They have a very bony mouth structure and it is a little bit of pot luck as to where they are hooked.
Join the club mate, if we were all honest we have all lost plenty of perch, I certainly have.
Oh, if you find one let me what it is!!!!

cheers bill n rest of the fellas
but it seems to have come across wrong in my original thread im not targeting perch im fishing for roach mainly but just latley ive been getting the perch turn up mainly later on in the session it may have something to do with the fact its quite enclosed as its urban canal thats got tower blocks on one side n a trading estate on the other so it dont get as much sunlight as most other canals. anyway im only pleasuring this canal so should be grateful might have to give the b560 and gamma greens ago not as though its an expensive trial is it

As my mate guesty said b560 or sensas black 3405

As long as you use the right elastic gamma greens are brilliant in a size 18 for caster on the cut. If there are trees/ boats about though i would look at the drennan polemaster in a size 20. B560s are brilliant hooks too though! Youll just have to try the lot and see what suits u best..

today have tied gamma greens up 22s

sensas 3405 20s
preston 333s 18s

so i will try em n give my verdict cheers fellas
