What are the best type of hooks for carp fishing?
Gamakatsu G Carp Method hooks are the best (in my opinion), if you can lay your hands on them. This time of year, like Paul R says, use small hooks and thinner lines, like, size 6,8,10 hooks, 8-10 lb lines. You should remember though that you should always match the size of the hook to the size of the bait. Too small a hook may prevent a solid hook up if your bait is disproportionately large. I agree with Paul that hair rigs are usually safer in terms of hooking a fish. Good fishing.
