soon be time to get back on the canals so just wondering what length of hooklength do people use and do they put dropper shot on them

4-6 inches, doesn't matter as long as you tie em up all the same length. Yes i do put shot on em if rqiered.On the gathering storm comes a tall handsome man, in a dusty black coat and red right hand. -
7 inches for all my hook lengths for float work on rivers canals or commercials. I also will put shot on them.Comment

Would NEVER put shot on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Defeats the object of using a hooklength for speed of changing and keeping rig same etc!Comment

In the winter all my hook lengths especially for silver fish will be 4 inch, i would also never put shot on it. Thats why i make them so short.Comment

Why so short? You'd think the knot/loops would make the fish wary?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

is this on float or feeder?
How does the short hooklength work? does the lopp in loop act as a resistance and register on the float?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

It enables me to have my tell tale shot close to the hook without putting any shot on the hooklength. I don't think knots or loops bother fish tbh just make sure there nice and neat.Originally posted by luke carpstalker View PostComment

thanks for replies i like to have bottom dropper around 4 inches from hook as well but not keen on loop to loop on low diameter hooklengths have been using a water knot which shows up less . Only downside is having to duplicate rigsComment

Use a tiny loop in your mainline and tie hooklength on with a half bloodknot, that's what I used to do but a loop to loop is more reliable and no problem if you make your loops small.Originally posted by scobie View PostComment
