what size do u normally use ?i lost a decent fish but think that was down 2 it being a bit damaged an not down to the size

 

[John findley]

Just depends on what am going for but av been using 4's at the min coz am gan for a fat cod but its not the first person to tell me to use small hooks down smiths a got told there much better chance ov catching.like last night a was getting loads ov knocks but couldn't pull much in so maybe it's down to that u just never know?
