The apt grandece of hook depend of the kind of fish, that you intend and of the used bait. For tiny fishes, as panfiŝoj either holes, you uses usually little hooks. Big hooks suit more to heavy fishes, for instance basses or catfishes.
Matter to adapt the hokgrandecon to the bait and to the muzzle of the fish. Too big hook can frighten the fish or hamper the ĉirkaŭpikan. For instance, the bluaĝiblo have little muzzle, so hook №10 do not answer, and you choose much more tiny.
How to Choose the Right Hook Size
On the contrary, the streaky bass owns huge muzzle, so that №10/0 will be too little for it.
The system of hokgrandecoj dividiĝas in two parts. One concern little and intermediate hooks, of №32 until №1. The second part counts for big hooks, of 1/0 upward.
That duforma arrangement seems difficult initially. Of №32 until №1, big edition shows little hook; №10 are tinier than №2. After 1/0, called “one nul”, the logic inversiĝas.
Of 1/0 until 19/0, big edition means big hook.
The gap-beam measures of the ŝaftĉipo until the peak. It decides, as far as big bait enter and that fiŝgrandece will swallow the hook well. In bigger hook, the gapo are broader.
Makers produce hooks in vast spectrum of magnitudes. They range of tender tiny hooks for holes and panfiŝoj until enormous circular hooks for ŝarkkaptado. Usually in dolĉakva fishing the biggest involved hook is №1.
Some fiŝistoj consider №1/0 and bigger as maritime hooks. For big fishes as sharks or tarponoj of the coast, you can use even №5/0. Even so standards differ according to makers.
Different hoktipoj, as circular or oktopusaĵoj, have different actually magnitudes although same name.
