Not posted in a very long time due to having a go at float and feeder fishing. Anyway back on topic, I'm looking at trying a mono d rig. I already have some 20lb amnesia line which I've tied up some rigs with but when using with a curve shank hook the gape is closed quiet a bit as the hook is curving up if that makes sense but with the chod hook it's almost straight with not much of a curve. So my question is what hook do you guys who use this rig like to use. Thanks in advance.

I've used it in the past with both a wide gape and Drennan super specialist Barbel type pattern ( ESP call them something different now ) Ones beaked the others are strait point.. hook seems to sit really well with both patterns.

Thanks kells, sounds like you've tried it and moved on to something else. I've not done much with mono hook links apart from a chod so fancy giving it a go. I'll take a look at those hook patterns, thanks once again.

It works well with chod hooks, many people use them for this rig.

Thanks Mark, I'll have another look with those I think and give it a go.

I'd use a chod hook for a D rig with a stiff mono or fluoro.
