Introduction and types of fishhooks

A fishhook is a tool used to hang bait to attract fish when fishing. It is composed of six parts: the handle, the hook handle, the hook hook, the hook tip, the hook door, and the hook bottom. Each part has its own specific function and is a necessary tool for fishing.

Introduction to fishhook

In terms of the hook body, the hook can be divided into six parts: the handle head, the hook handle, the hook back (bottom), the hook end, the hook tip, and the barb.
The function of the handle head is to prevent the binding thread from slipping out. There are many shapes, such as straight flat head, side flat head, ring head and bayonet head. As long as it is moderate, it is generally unnecessary to pay attention to it. Hook handles are long and short. The long handle hook is suitable for hanging long bait such as earthworms and insects, while the short handle hook is suitable for hanging small grain bait such as noodles and grains of rice.
The hook back has round back, flat back, oblique back, arch back and other shapes. In terms of mechanics, the round back hook can bear the largest tension, with flat back and oblique difference. If the rigidity is good, the arch back hook is most likely to fall off after being hooked. The hook back is different in width. The distance between the handle and the end is the width of the back. It is too narrow, and the fish is easy to break free because it is small in the mouth; It is too wide, and the tension it can bear is relatively weak. The ideal width is to make the hook end, hook back and hook handle basically form a circle according to the size of the whole hook. The hook is big, round and wider. After the fish is hooked, the hook back plays a major role in stressing, and the difference of hook shape is mainly reflected in the hook back, which is most noteworthy.
The length of the hook means the depth of the meat after being hooked. Long, deep, but not easy to hook; Short, easy to hook and easy to unhook. The tip of the hook is required to be sharp, but it is too sharp. It is easy to get caught when touching water plants, and it is difficult to hang earthworms. The barb shall be clear. If it is too long, it is troublesome to retract the hook. If it is too short, it will lose the function of the barb.
