Whether the anchor hook has barb or no barb is better
1、 Anchor hook is divided into barb hook and barb-free hook. The barb is generally located at the inner side of the hook tip with a certain degree of warpage. Generally, fish hooks of the same brand and type will have barbs and barb-free hooks. Which is better, barb-free hooks or barb-free hooks?
Advantages and disadvantages of barbed hook
(1) Advantages
Because of the existence of barbs, the anchor hook with barbs will not fall off the bait because of their struggle and movement, even if we choose worms, insects and other living bodies as the bait. In our actual fishing process, after the fish is successfully stabbed by the hook, the risk of fish falling off can also be reduced due to the existence of barbs, thus reducing the rate of decoupling when we are fishing.
(2) Disadvantages
When there are barbs on the hook, the fish may have a certain sense of obstruction when eating, which makes the fish unable to swallow the bait and bite the hook smoothly. Because of the existence of barbs, there will be some resistance when we lift the rod to fish. At the same time, when we want to remove the fish hook from the fish, we need to fix the fish first and then take the hook by hand. It will take a certain time to take the hook. In addition, in the process of fishing, it is inevitable that the hook will hang on the clothes or pants, or catch the fishing net when using the fishing net. At this time, the barb of the hook will cause us trouble, making it difficult for us to take out the hook smoothly.
2、 How to remove the barb of the fishhook
If you don't want to use the barbed fish hook, you can directly tell the owner of the fishing gear shop to buy the barbed fish hook. If you buy it carelessly, you can remove the barbed fish hook. You can also prepare a steel knife or a common nail knife. Insert the barbed part of the fish hook into the steel blade, press the handle gently with your right hand, and turn the hook with your left hand, so that the barbed fish hook can be removed.
