Good point about the barbed hooks Ian B. yes i do use them if i,m fishing the worm on a river as i like my bait to stay on and i would,nt deny that they are potentially more harmful to fish esp. in the hands of novices and yet i see more mouth deformities in carp than than i do in river fish,far more!This is probably due to the fishing pressure,i.e speed fishing,skull dragging,landing fish as quickly as possible,carp being caught day after day,like i said i dont fish these places anymore but my son does in junior matches ,ok i admit i,m on a bit of a rant about this one,i,ve done my time on carp matches and eventually got so bored with it i contemplated giving up fishing completely as several people that i know have done.Oo er i,ve gone a bit off topic on this 1- apologies to all.
