The fishing hook is one of the smallest parts of a fishing tool, but it is also the most important. Fishing hooks that are too big, too small, barbed, barbless, single, round, double, or treble, incorrect use of any of these can result in a bad day of fishing for you. Knowing how to choose the right fishing hook is key to your preferred catch.
1）J-Hook
The straight-shank j-hook is a common fishing hook that most people are familiar with. It is shaped like the letter J. The J-hook can be universally used for almost any type of fish, such as panfish, trout, and walleye. The long handle makes removal easier if the fish swallows the hook, so it's an excellent choice for live bait. The J-Hook can also be used in a variety of environments, be it fresh or salt water, the J-Hook can be used with small lures, lures of all sizes, and many basic fishing rigs like Dropshot, Carolina, or Texas Rigs.
2）Circle Hook
In recent years, circle hooks have become very popular with anglers. The big advantage of a circle hook is that it usually doesn't need to be "set" or strike by the angler. To set up a circle hook, lean lightly against the fish and start reeling. Circle hooks are ideal for fish such as catfish, pike, and stripers. Circle hooks are great for use with most types of real lures because you can leave the hook's bend as open as possible for maximum connection.
3）Treble Hook
We can see treble hooks from many types of lures, such as crankbaits, and other types of hard-bodied lures. The treble hook features three hook points joined together at a single tying point, which can be easily removed and replaced with special split-ring pliers. Treble hooks can be used in freshwater and saltwater fishing, for crankbaits, swimbait, metal jigs, and more. But treble hooks are not suitable for use around heavy vegetation and weeds, as they are highly prone to snagging.
4）Baitholder Hook
The baitholder hook features two barbs on the upper half of its long shank handle to prevent fish from falling off the hook. you can use a baitholder hook for targeting most flatfish species, Bream, Cod, Sea Bass, and many other fresh and saltwater species. The baitholder hooks are camouflaged when fitted with natural baits such as worms, small fish, etc.
5）Worm Hook
Worm hooks can be used with almost any type of plastic worm. Worm hooks are characterized by a large radius and more space between the tip and shank. Worm Hooks allow for an easy way to rig swimbaits and other soft plastics securely and properly for perfect action every time. Worm Hooks make it easy to safely and correctly rig swimbaits and other soft plastics for the perfect move every time. Worm hook styles are available in the straight shank, offset shank, and extra wide gap. The straight handle hook is designed for flipping in heavy cover with no bends or anything getting in the way of a positive hookset. An offset handle hook has less clearance between the hook point and shaft, making it suitable for use with smaller lures. Extra Wide Gap hook has a large gap between the hook tip and shaft, providing enough room for bulky soft plastics.
