Hi, just wondered if anyone can help. What would be the max hook size to use on a power float rod? I'm thinking Acolyte Plus. Would a size 8 carp hook be OK or something with a smaller diameter wire?
Puddle pigs! As you know I don't really float fish. I think I'll probably be using a size 12 Drennan Wide gape Specialist for more of what I want to do. At least I know a size 8 is possible - you're a star!
It really does depend on the bait you’re using !
If you are using pellets smaller hooks than an 8 would be required.
But yes size 8 will work with the rod....
On my last outing to the estate I started on an 18 fishing either corn or wheat and finished on a size 6 with a large piece of bread flake which enticed a tench.
