This year I have been having a lot of success by presenting a couple of Sonu Baits' Fin Perfect 3mm expanders on the hook, as opposed to one larger one.

I can only put it down to the fact that it is something the carp have not seen before, but it also works well for other species too.

I am fairly well known for fishing lighter and finer than a lot of anglers who target commercial match venues, so fishing smaller hooks with smaller baits is a logical progression.

This autumn, don't be afraid to try two small hookbaits instead of one bigger one. The Sonu Fin Perfect expanders are easy to prepare, offer consistent quality and best of all, the fish love them.

So there you are, keep it under your hat and you could be on your way to a lot of match fishing success.
