Kamasan 532

[trotter2]

Just interested if any one else uses these red hooks. I have tried loads of hooks over the years starting with the old mustad hook them the kamasan 520 followed by the popular 560. But I find these 532s excellent hooks strong with a super hook hold for all smaller baits maggots to sweet corn. I started using them for grayling being red, but now its my main go to hook.
I don't find many anglers using them which is a shame but just like to give them the thumbs up.:thumbs:

I can honestly say that I've never seen a Kamasan B532 in a tackle shop.
I've often used the Drennan Red Maggot hook in the past. More recently I've found the Drennan Wide Gape Match hook to be more to my liking. They are my go to hook for maggot and caster fishing when barbed hooks are permissable and I feel they are necessary.

I'm happy to use animals and super spades for the main. In lighter hooks I like several of the mustad range.

Had a look today. The B532 are a bit too long in the shank for my preferences. However, they did have some B560s that look a lot closer to the Drennan Wide Gape Match but with a slightly longer shank and finer guage wire.

Kamasan and Drennen are the same company, just different trading names.

I use several different hooks for different species.

Owner also do some very good hooks

I know that, that's why I picked up the B560s. They looked very similar to the Wide Gape Match until subjected to close scrutiny.

The 560 is a popular hook Sam. A lot of the lads use them for dace on the stick will hold a decent chub in open water ok Its the hook that's taken (over for some) from the 520 with the match lads
