FOX Series 2 Carp Match Hooks
It’s always nice when somebody puts you on to a great product; such was
the case with the Series 2 Match hooks from Fox International.
The
hooks are based on the Fox Series 2 specimen carp hooks, which I have
used on more than one occasion in the past, but the match versions are
much smaller, sized in; 12/14/16/18/20 available in either spade end or
eyed.
The
hooks are designed with the coarse and match angler in mind, allowing
the presentation of much smaller baits like pellets, paste, meat corn
and worms. However, as a specimen angler, my interest in these hooks
was aroused when I was advised to give them a go when surface fishing
for large carp.
Yes
they are small, but flippin' heck… are they strong! In fact, I can’t
believe just how strong they are! The bonus with this is that when
matched to a dog biscuit for surface fishing, they are so light that
they don’t sink the biscuit as it soaks up water. I’ve been using in
sizes; 12/14 and 16 over the last few weeks with great success, landing
a succession of hard fighting carp to upper doubles with ease.
I
was a little unsure how well they would hook being so small, but they
have fantastically sharp, in-turned points which can only improve
hooking effectiveness, and manufactured from high carbon steel wire,
they remain strong and durable throughout.
If you enjoy surface fishing for carp, my advice is simple - get some!
I’ve
used nothing else since I came across these hooks and a nice shiny size
12 is already rigged up on my stalking rod for a few hours surface
fishing later on today!
