Any size you prefer is the best for carp . Hooks and sizes are like cars everyone prefer his/her model

Personally I still prefer on most occasions, the old van der Merwe

Ek hou van 3 tipe hoeke, al 3 is ook natuurlik baie sterk.

  1. Stevenson se klein vd merwe hoeke (Pro Merwe) [/*]
  2. Mustad 9555 baitfeeder hoeke [/*]
  3. Scud Fly hoeke deur Fear None[/*]
Die oubaas gebruik nogsteeds die groot vd merwe hoeke en hulle het hom nog nooit gedrop nie

;)

As ek daai groot karp sien wat jy vashou het jy verseker die regte hoeke gebruik!

Brakkejan ek en jou pa behoort goed oor die weg te kom ? " Die oubaas gebruik nogsteeds die groot vd merwe hoeke en hulle het hom nog nooit gedrop nie !!!! """ Stem saam hom . Ou "Van der Merwe" vang alles van klein tot groot see vis !!!

Julle sal verseker, lol hy is ernstig Old School. Hy is nogals trots op homself, hy se dat hy ge-upgrade het. My Loomis Carp stokke oorgeneem.

Ek het nie geweet die VD Merwe is potent in die See nie ;) Ek het so paar grotes in my kas vir babers. Hulle sal seker kwaai roes?

Use one hook only and if there is big fish I will fish size 1 or 2. If the fish are smaller a 0.8 will work fine.

Since last year october I have been using carp world #2 hooks and havent looked back. You can also try #2 circle hooks where there are grass.

best hook in competitive angling is the daiichi or fear none nr 0.8 but for social i would maybe go up to a nr 2 and for specimen carp angling the nash fang series is some of the best!

Fished Kruger's at the Vaal today. Got 4 fish for a total of 7 kg. Used Carp World Ryoichi hooks size 0.8 and size 2. Biggest fish was 2.4kg on the 0.8 hooks. I have lot of trust in these hooks. I use the size 2 most and have landed fish up to 4.5kg on them so far.
