Welcome to AN BC38.Look forward to reading posts from you.As youve noticed there is a great bunch of guys on this site.

 

James will bring all the circles I have/will be getting to the Itchen fish in so you can have a look to see what ones would be best.

There are some places over in the UK that now sell them. The CCG has a supply for Catfishing

Also Raisons/Tackleup were stocking some in the summer.

Bryan Andrews - I see your post count is at 8 posts but this is the first one I've seen so I'll take the opportunity to welcome you to AnglersNet.

 

How extensive is the CCG's selection of circle hooks?

[Bryan Andrews]

Thanks Newt

 

When I last checked they had two patterns, one being Owners and I can't remember the other. Sizes ranged from 6 to 2/0.

 

Cheers

And at those sizes Bryan the same as most other CCG gear..............as much use as an ash tray on a motor bike!

I think http://catalog.catfishconnection.com/ has a few more than that if anyone is interested.

 

Budgie - 2/0 is starting to get up into a reasonable size range as long as you aren't using too large a bait and the fish aren't huge. I'd be comfortable with anything up to around 100lbs on a 2/0 as long as it was a good brand of hook.

 

I do notice from the picture I posted that the smallest in your package is that 3/0 though. And speaking of package, it should be arriving any day now.
