Craig Palmer caught this nice 1lb 5oz perch with a single red maggot on a size 22 Drennan Wide Gape Match hook.
This is an ideal hook choice for boney mouthed perch. Its shape lends itself exceptionally well to a multitude of hook baits, from maggots to worms. A chemically sharpened point means it stays extremely sharp and being forged ensures it will not open up easily when under pressure.
The wire gauge also increases with hook size, from the smallest size 22 (0.28mm) up to a size 14 (0.43mm). It’s a truly versatile hook pattern!
