Added a bit of a "twist" (pardon the pun) to a couple of my favourite lures before I start hammering a few reservoirs over the next week or two. Hopefully they will catch a fish or two.

On the topic of the hooks I have been using carp hooks for a few of my lures (and big buzzers) for a little while. They have an awesome hook hold and are completely indestructible. Also they weigh an absolute ton so are good for getting flies down without the need for a beadhead. Only issue with them is they are teflon coated to "aid with a smoother hookup" for the carp boys and as a result are slippery in the vice.

Thoughts and comments as welcome as always
