Joe Carass explains why he believes the Guru Pellet Waggler hook is the ultimate choice for rod-and-line tactics!Hook choice is a constant source of confusion for me. I like certain patterns of hooks for pole fishing and use them a lot – the Kamasan B911 and Drennan Silverfish Pellet spring immediately to mind. But when it comes to eyed hooks for rod-and-line fishing, I must admit to being a bit of a chopper and changer. The Guru QM1 has long been my favourite hook pattern for any kind of legering for carp, as once a carp is hooked with this piece of steel they rarely come off! There are times, though, when I have felt that they were just not quite right.
England International Steve Hemingray impresses yet again on the elite stage by winning the prestigious Rive Drennan Cup.
Held on the vast 15km Lac Au Duc in Ploermel, France, The Rive Drennan Cup attracted 120 of the world’s finest anglers – but it was Steve who proved his class and took home the £2000 first prize.
With the pole only producing small fish, Steve turned to the waggler in search of the lakes better quality skimmers. Fishing at 25metres, Steve’s plan revolved around firing rich feed-laced balls accurately at his 8g-fixed waggler.
