Fishing hook is the key to fishing, so the selection and maintenance of fishing hook is extremely important.
(1) Choice of fishing hook: which kind of fishing hook to choose must be carefully considered.
① Choose the hook according to the type of fish: the hook is different according to the type of fish. For example, crucian carp: it has a small mouth, thin lips and mild nature. It is suitable to use a small hook with thin hook bars; Carp: it has a big mouth, thick lips and great strength. It is suitable to use a hook with a wide hook door, a deep hook bottom and a thick hook bar. Some hooks are named after fish species, such as crucian carp hook and carp hook, which take these characteristics into account.
② Choose the hook according to the size of the fish: you can catch big fish with a small hook, but you can't catch small fish with a big hook. Therefore, the basic principle of hook selection is to be small rather than large. However, the hook should also be selected according to local conditions, such as fish conditions and water conditions.
③ Select the hook according to the fishing tackle: the hook is different for different fishing tackle. If fishing with a hand pole, a hook with a hook tip parallel to the hook handle should be used; For fishing with sea pole and hauler, it is advisable to use a hook with a short handle and an inward inclined hook tip. This hook is easy to swallow the entrance and is not easy to unhook.
(2) Selection method of fishing hook
① Appearance: the appearance is round, the thickness of the hook is uniform, the surface is smooth, and the color is consistent.
② Hook tip: it must be sharp. Gently touch the hook tip with your hand. If it feels sticky, it means it is sharp.
③ Barb: the barb position is close to the hook tip, and the opening angle is 25 ° -30 °. The barb is too low, too long, and the angle is too large, so it is not easy to stab fish; On the contrary, it is easy to decouple.
④ Hook handle: the size and thickness of the hook handle should be appropriate. Too small, the hook line is easy to loose; If it is too thin, it is easy to cut the hook line.
⑤ Strength and toughness: hold the hook tip by hand and push it inward and outward. If the hook is broken or bent and deformed, it should be discarded.
