| What steals hooks? Spent a lovely evening on the west arm of Brighton marina on Saturday. Fresh air good conversation and a pizza, unfortunately no fish. During the course of the night my mate and I must have lost 4 hooks off rigs which had the line cut ir chewed through. Any ideas what did this as we were both at a loss .     |

| Re: What steals hooks? Crabs ! Nearly always down to crabs - they snip through the line normally at the hook end - regular problem unfortunatley .... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !

 Re: What steals hooks? Spider Crabs. To get around the problem use low breaking strain braid. They'll never cut that!!  |

| Re: What steals hooks?  You only lost 4 hooks? You got of lightly. I lost about a dozen in one session at Chesil last year.  __________________ One man's fish is another man's poissons http://www.deepsea.co.uk http://www.wildtrout.org |
