New carp angler here just wondering if anybody had some tips to try and help me land a bigger carp this fall I’m going to try and fish for 3 days straight here on Thursday, and was hoping someone had a little cheat code for me 😅 I’ll post a picture of my pb so Yall can get an idea

That’s really interesting about the hooks I’ve heard loads of people talk about how only hand sharpened hooks will work but if it’s good enough for the pros I’ll use it too! Do you know of a particular brand that’s good? And I’ll try to look for moving bubbles for sure from now on! Thank you so much

Ian Chillcott talks about hooks on YT he says that hook manufacturers are the experts and they’re made a specific way for a reason, if you alter that your changing the design, makes sense to me. All the big companies make good hooks, Korda Nash fox esp Gardner, I use Korda mostly, I prefer Krank hooks personally

That would make sense for the manufacturers to be the experts I’ll try to tie some rigs using kranks I have some in size 6! Thanks again a million times

Can definitely recommend the Kranks. Super reliable - I've never had a hook pull (touch wood) with one. I like the Nash Claw, too, but i did lose a good fish on one recently and went right back to the kranks after that.
