In this week's Angling Times an angler caught a 16lb 1oz barbel using a small particle hook bait on a size 12 hook. I cannot visualise how you put a small particle i.e. a grain of barley/ spelt/ tare or hemp seed on a 12 hook and then catch an enormous barbel with it. He did fish however over a bed of particles so maybe the hook with particle attached was inconspicuous amongst all the particles!
