Thank you for sharing your strategy with us.
No, problem. I appreciate the comment
Thanks for the video. I will be switching to smaller hooks for carp fishing now. Hopefully I will have better luck.
I appreciate the comment. I would suggest you get some #6 or #4 Octopus/Cirlce hooks. I have pulled in plenty big hooks on a small #4, I will say the thicker hooks won't bend, sometimes when using a thinner hook I will have to change it out after catching a fish, because it will be bent.. In my opinion carp are one of the smartest fish and they are very weary...
NIce vid, I had river fish stealing my bait ever cast til I down sized my hook.
The river can be hard because there are so many species. when I am on the river I am mainly targeting catfish and carp are secondary
The hooks 4 and 6 (the biggest not counting #1) im not sure yet but alot of fishes get off the line if im not fast. But the #6 got me a 7lb pound carp... near Potomac
Nice. All my hooks are #4, I lose some... but I assume that is just fishing. They have to win sometime also, ha ha!
Very nice informative video
Appreciate it!
I love those specialist carp hooks from gamagatsu but my first carp I ever caught was on a eagle claw number 8 hook so those have a special place in my heart and tackle bag.
Yeah I get it, once you find something that works you stick with it. I challenge you to experiment. My go to hook for carp in the river is just a #1 or #2 Eagle Claw baitholder hook with a night crawler, nothing fancy.. works all the time.. When I fish lakes I tend to use the special carp hooks and I mainly stick to hair rigs now..
Good video. I use those same Eagle Claw L2 Needlepoint Octopus hooks for my hair rigs, size 4. Eagle Claw hooks are made in Denver, CO.
I appreciate it. You are one of my favorite channels!! Thanks I HIGHLY appreciate the COMMENT!!!
Hey thanks for discussing your path and the hooks you have tried. Any chance you can explain what you use on your rigs?? Ie. Swivels, Leaders, weights, corn ON actual hook , chumming timelines, etc
Yeah I think I can make that video. I get that request a lot. I keep it simple, so I should be able to make a video
@@BigMuddyFishing awesome !!!!!
I like large hooks. I did well on small hooks when I started out and caught a few 20s on very old #8 eagle claws with a 10# mono hair rig. They were the old style in the little hard plastic container just a plain Jane straight shank and straight eye hook. I had to baby those carps in very slow. The first one I ever caught in those days I guess I tied the hook and hair too long because the carp actually exhaled the hook through its gills causing it to get gill hooked. I guess it's one way they will go about blowing out pieces of rock, twigs, other misc bottom junk as they feed. It took me a long time before I realized why it happened like that with my very first carp. I do things a lot differently now.
To add to this a bit.. I personally don't subscribe to the ideal of the carps being afraid of the larger hooks however the smaller you go I do believe they can be a great deal sharper atleast straight out of the package when compared to a large hook.. which would more than likely cause you to hook into more carps.
I think carp will take a bigger hook, most of my carp come on regular bait holder hooks with a night crawler
thank you !
No problem. I appreciate it
I've used tiny treble hooks as well. They work better at the initial hook. Just harder to get out
I am torn on treble hooks because they are so hard to get out, and sometime I think they do damage to the fish. I might give it a try with some dough bait I am making out of range cubes. I highly appreciate the comment!!!!
I got the Gamakatsu G carp hook size 8. Is that a good size I’m not sure that’s all they had
Sorry just saw this.. I think that will work, I like size 6..
I’m just a kid trying to get in to fishing for carp but with the small lazer sharp hooks do they bend out on you and do you use a leader.
I have not had them bend out. You just need a leader, but now i am using hair rigs. See my video about my rig title: Basic Carp Rig With Method Cage ( Fishing Feeder, Method Feeder) with Hair Rig and Boiled Field Corn
