The rig turns quicker with the putty imo.

Used the German today size 6 Mugga 12 mm wafter 7” of semi stiff coated braid all set correctly- had a fish of about 10lb didn't weight it but it was doubled hooked (stitched) which I don't like at all what would of it caused this? I have fished the Mugga pattern before and had this but not on other curved hooks is it the angle of the eye?
Can you use a wide gape hook on a German rig?

In reply to Post #32
Haven't actually had it myself but have heard of this can happen with Muggas

Has anyone used the German with a Trighammer hook, gonna give it a go at the weekend, like the idea of its longer sweeping curve increasing hooking potential?

In reply to Post #34
I have,its fine and get good hook holds

In reply to Post #35
what size hooks are you using with the trighammers i have heard stories of the smaller sizes being opened up quite easily, ive got some in various sizes only had a handfull of fish on them which haven't let me down but they do look quite fine in the wire

I've used the Trigs in 5s and 6s on a very weedy water and had no issues

Thanks that's good to know

I use size 7 and not had an issue with them

In reply to Post #34
Yes, size 7. Fish it turbo German style with a korda ac swivel (without the ring) and a trimmed down Nash tungsten kicker

In reply to Post #40
Anyone use the turbo on a D rather than straight on the shank?

Having used both the slip d and German. I find the slip d a far better rig. So much so that I don't use the German anymore

In reply to Post #42
Having used the slip d and the German I find I still prefer the amnesia d rig

In reply to Post #43
What's that one I can't remember

When using the German with a wafter what are the pros and cons of using a ring swivel as opposed to one without the ring, thanks ?
