Carp Fishing What Hook Do You Use?

I often get asked should I use a curved pointed hook or should I use a straight pointed hook?

𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 - If I’m using bottom baits I want to use a curved pointed hook. Reason being a curved point whilst also not blunting as quickly will stay in once it’s gone into the fish’s mouth. Fishing over gravel over debris then a straight pointed hook is gonna catch hold of the debris and blunt easier.

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 - Straight pointed hooks go in a lot quicker, catch a lot quicker and penetrate the fish’s mouth a lot quicker. Hence why I use them with pop-ups because you haven’t got to worry about the debris or the hook blunting when you’re fishing a pop-up.
