So with some recent testing on a local water it seems that the sharpened hooks I was using start rusting very quickly. I think it's due to the type of water it is as I've not had this issue on other waters but even after 4 hours there were significant signs of rust so I'm now not going to use sharpened hooks on there.
Can anyone recommend some strong reliable strong hooks out of the packet please?
I don't really want to use the Kamukura one's as I bought a pack and the points were too thin for my liking.
Thanks all!

Gardner mugga or atomic tackle are very good hooks

Are you using anything to protect the sharpened hooks? (wax, grease, pen...
... Nose grease
)
Makes a big difference

Any hooks from mosquito angling, no need to sharpen and only £1.99 a pack.

I've always found the Fox hooks are good out of the bags and they are made from a harder material than other hooks
... Hard to sharpen following a fish capture, in the old days I'd just replace the hook..

Out the pack has got to be either carp spirit or angling iron. I do prefer the angling iron personally.
J precision hooks by a long way they are hand sharpened plus I like Gardner mugga hooks if I'm using something else, also I would use the little pot Korda do to protect hook points from rusting or going funny problem is I can't remember what it's called lol
But J precision have never rusted or had any problems with them at all very good quality

I use J precision, and only on one water did I have issues with them rusting. However, take a look at the JAG hook pens, they sorted the issue and his hooks are spot on. On every water since that I haven't needed them which is typical 😂
