The fishing hook is one of the most important items to a fisherman.
- 1. Hooks come in many sizes, shapes, metals and finishes.
- Large hooks (1/0 - 10/0) increase in size as the numbers increase.
- Small hooks (14 - 1) decreases in size as the numbers deccrease.
- Large hooks (1/0 - 10/0) increase in size as the numbers increase.
2. Hooks are sized by the number that represents the distance between the inside of the Shank and the Point or the Gap. All manufactures are different and below is for guide purposes only.
3. Select the hook for the species of fish you are fishing for and keep the point sharp.
