Hi all, apologies if this has been done to death.

I'm looking at getting back into carp fishing and I've come across a few wholesalers online that are selling bulk hooks and terminal tackle. Anyone got any recommendations on the best sellers for bulk hooks?

Thanks

Bank tackle hooks are decent and very cheaper in larger quantities.

Ali express. Together with swivels and all other small tackle.

I bet that brands like bank tackle buy their stuff their and repack it. For example their safety clips look the same as the once i bought on ali express.

I've come across Ali Express before, but wasn't sure on using it.

Just had a quick search on there and come across 100 Teflon coated wide gape hooks for £7. Worth a punt for just £7 I feel!

How long did they they take to rock up? Delivery times appear a bit high!

Delivery times are mostly 1 month... Can go faster, can take longer. It al depends on the manner of shipping.

I already bought swivels, rig rings, line aligners, putty, hooklink, etc..
The quality was fine and very cheap.

Last year i even bought 60gram of pure talin powder. Good for 200 to 300 kg of boilies.

Where do you think all the rig bits come from. Korda ESP Fox dont produce them. They may buy them in bagged up but dont make them.

I know this probably goes against the grain but when you think about it our hooks, hook links and mainline are the only things that keep us in contact with the fish. Nowadays we all seem to use 15lb plus line and often even stronger hook links, but hooks aren't something we can increase strength of so easily. Also our hooks have another purpose, hooking the carp in the first place.
I will never, don't often use that word, but never select a hook on price. I also wouldn't consider buying in bulk until I was 100% confident in what I was buying, and confidence would only come after a prolonged use of the hook.
I have dozens of packets of hooks in my shed that looked as though they were the bees knees but for one reason or another were not.
My advice is try out any hook you fancy first until you are really sure it does what you want it to do.

I agree.
Hooks, line and bait are the only things that really, really matter in carp angling imo. Skimp on everything else.
Are you sure?
