Haven't read the full article yet but it seems that some fella is advocating sticking a hook in your face with a bait on and shaking your head about to test your hook for sharpness

Can't see what the issue is, I've been doing it for years

I can see it now, Vass waders, hoodie, beanie and hook in the face or ear with a bolie hung off it

Yes, step forward Matt Eaton. There is even a photo showing how to achieve the "test". I'll give it a miss!

Are these 'tests' a bid start conversation and so boost sales magazine sales?
If so it won't work on me I wouldn't waste my money on such crap

What a ******* idiot he is then. Who thinks to themselves this is a good idea, and what retard thinks it's good enough to publish. I know mags run out of content and print the same old crap but seriously

I've heard it's much better to push the hook though your helmet, much more like a carps mouth is my tip

Carpology is a total wind-up now.
I get articles come through after following them on Facebook; what mug for carp fishing, renaming rigs, rehash old ideas, and give it a new slant for the sheep, it is rare to get some decent article come through now.

It is sad that we have lost decent magazines and the intelligence level of what is left is aimed at the spotty boy just reaching puberty😖😅

Not to mention Speero Tackle, they must practically own it now the amount of advertising they've done with them

I do it all the time- only way to check if it's sharp enough.

Surprised it's taken this long to catch on.
