All About Fishing Hooks
To understand the structure of fishing hooks is the first lesson of fishing
Hooks seem simple, but in fact, many fishermen doesn’t know how to use it correctly. Therefore, with a good understanding of the structure, quality, and shape of the hook that can be used to select the hook correctly is extremely important, Angler’s Grotto is here to provide a next level fishing experience to avoid broken hooks, unhooked, deformed hooks, and straightened hooks.
Eye
The function of eye is to prevent the tied fishing line from slipping off with a variety of shapes, Angler’s Grotto ensures every hook eye is within the correct thickness to avoid cutting lines off.
Shank
Shank is a section from the handle to the hook bend. The shank length varies by type of hook, the longer shank is suitable for long bait such as worms and insect baits and it’s easier to get it out of the fish. The shorter shank is a better choice when using grain baits such as Carp bait.
Barb
Assuming the hook’s point penetrates the fish’s mouth, the barb precludes the hook from backing out.
Bend
Bend is to firmly hook the fish, it also supports and reduces pulling force of the fish to the hook. Angler’s Grotto ensures our bend can hold up heavy weight fishes!
Point
This is the business end of the hook. In recent years manufacturers have been in a race to develop the “newest and best” point. Whether chisel, trocar, needle, knife edge or rolled–Angler’s Grotto ensures them to be sharp to land the big ones.
Gap
Narrow gaps are best suited for live baiting, when hiding the hook is important. A wide gap excels when used with thick-bodied baits where penetration through the baits body and into the fish is required. Angler’s Grotto provides variety of choices to maximize your need.
