Eyed or Spade

Hi All,

I have bean fishing with spade hooks all my life on the pole. But the last 12 months I am finding eye on expanders are out doing spade. I am hitting more bits. Is any body else finding this.

Thanks,
Trevor.

RE: Eyed or Spade

Given that most of our fishing is commercial based, after hungry carp, I would like to know the pro's and cons of each hook. I am happy to use an eyed hook, whipping the knot on the shank and the line running through the eye. This feels stronger to me somehow. I know the argument about the weight of the extra metal affecting the fall of the bait, but if the fish are competing, does that make that nonsense?
