    5/0! Try size 2, not 2/0, 2.

    I was mistaken. The hooks weren't 5/0 or 4/0, still learning about hook sizes. Two hooks I used were 2/0 and 3/0 but I could clearing see those hooks were too big as one carp I saw picked up the bait and hook then spit it out and swam off looking spooked. Smallest I have is 1/0 so some time in the week I'll pay a visit to my local tackle shop
