Paste hook for chubbing

[bigchub]

I'm rapidly running out of my favorite hooks for paste fishing for chub (Partridge Jack Hilton Z1 Carp Hooks) and I'm now looking for an alternative. Any ideas?

homemade cheese paste?

Now now Paul I can't give away all my paste secrets can I?

Have got a new website I'm building that will give a few (ok well quite a lot!) of my secrets away.

Just looking for alternative hooks for paste.

For chub fishing I use log worms, cheese paste (home made) and maggots

but I'll be watching this thread for idea - pie and chub 2 of my favourite fish to catch - sadly never could a big one of either

I was only after an answer for hooks for paste.

Oh, Lor, he must have startled one of the maids (I thought they were inured to his habits?) and she's dropped the keys to the sherry where he could find them.
HOOKS, M'Lud, HOOKS!

I will give them a go and see how I get on with them. Thanks Alan.

Bet you can here the souns of a penny dropping from here - just goes to show how a dyslexic like me can read the simplest of things wrong

Don't give it a thought, yer Grace, we all luvs yer! (Tugs forelock, exits backwards, trips...)

Drennan super specialists - nothing fancy. I use Drennan continetal bollie hooks for luncheon meat in snaggy swims.

Little tip, hair rig a cork ball and mold the paste around the cork ball and leave a little hook point showing. I choose not to proper hair rig yet - but not out of tradition

IMO, hook pattern is not so critical for chubbing because you have to actually time the strike and hook the fish yourself.

What about Kamasan "animal hooks"

Christian -
Seems like the common consensus is for the Drennan Super Specialists so I will certainly go for them. Like you I use Drennan Continental Boilie hooks for fishing in snaggy swims with big baits.
Can't say I've hair rigged paste in the way you do with the cork ball but shall certainly give it a go in the future.

Danny - I use Animal spade end barbless hooks when fishing smaller baits like maggots and caster for chubbing in sizes 14-20.
