| Re: lost two carp's!!! Ok hooks is something not worth being cheap over. If i was you i'd buy the best hooks you can get or at least some hooks around 2.50 kamasans and low quality fishing shops sell them however i do not rate them at all!! i have lost fish and seen them lost due to these hooks. Its a NO GO for me. Good luck next time. |
