Exactly. My hook size has been trending up over the last few years but now doing well (I would say better) with size 6 (pop ups) and 8s (bottom baits and small pop ups).

I must be the only out there using size 8’s??

Using old ESP Raptor curve shanks ( bought in bulk) or the newer cryogenic curve shank replacements.

10mm pop ups, 6 inch boom, not had a hook pull to date and had quite a few fish on a difficult venue where the smaller presentation seems to pay off judging by other people’s results generally

Use 2. Its not going to result in less bites and it has the best holds.

I’ve been using it with size 6 angling iron curves, used a 12mm pop up and landed 13 from 13 so far, mates that have used it with bigger hookbaits have experienced hookpulls, I only use it for fishing a low pop up over bits and pieces, if I’m fishing boilies il use a multi or a chod.
