A bit of advice needed....
I've been sorting out my, frequently increasing, tackle over the weekend & came across a few packs of curved shank hooks. I know these are normally used for carp fishing but wondered if they'd be suitable for barbel fishing?
Also, what's the theory behind them? I'm assuming it's something to do with hooking the fish but not sure if it's specific to certain rigs etc?
I also do a bit of tench fishing & assume they would be suitable for that - they're size 10 & 12.
Thanks in advance.
