Best Baits For Trout Fishing

Hook sizes and styles explained

Hooks are hooks in most anglers’ minds. They figure they either need a big one or a small one, depending on the fish they are pursuing. Lots of anglers go through life completely missing the importance of using not only the right size sea hook, but probably most importantly the right type of sea hook.

It’s not just pure fishing luck that makes the difference in all sea anglers catching more than you. Most of the time it’s the hook choice you make on the day. A thick forged hook is not the right choice for small fish, fish with small mouths or soft lipped fish. A thin Aberdeen wire hook that can penetrate quickly in the inside of the mouth would be a better choice however you would also need a hook that holds its strength and shape.

Hook size is probably the first thing a sea angler should think of when buying hooks. Most are smart enough to know which hook is the right size for the fish they are after but it takes experience. Sizes from most manufacturers range from the very smallest freshwater trout hook at a number 32, to the very largest game fish hook at 19/0.

The size breakdown from smallest to largest looks like this:32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0, 6/0, 7/0, 8/0, 9/0, 10/0, 11/0, 12/0, 13/0, 14/0, 15/0, 16/0, 17/0, 18/0, and 19/0.

In sea fishing in the UK, average range is from a Size 1 to a Size 10/0 been a boat hook. For example Mackerel fishing, you should be using a size 1/0 hook, for Pollack from the shore you could use a size 3/0 or 4/0 and also you can use this size for most bottom fishing needs. Flatfish you are better off using a size 1 or 1/0 due to their small mouths. Remember all of these hooks come in a short, regular, or long shank version. The shank of the hook is the part between the eye of the hook and the bend. For example long shanks are very well suited for Sandeel baits, Lug or Rag threaded up the shank for a more natural presentation.

Fish hooks also come in several types. Knowing a few of the more popular ones and their uses can help you be successful:

O’SHAUGHNESSY
This hook is named for the specific design of the hook. It’s a standard hook, forged with a very strong bend. This hook is relatively thick, very strong, and not likely to bend out of shape. Generally designed for saltwater, it is good for general bottom fishing use. Sizes range from #3 to as large as 19/0.

ABERDEEN
They are generally made from shaped wire. Unlike the O’Shaughnessy, it can and does bend. It can be bent back into shape several times before it becomes too weak. However, once a fish is hook and the barb has completely penetrated, this hook holds very well. These hooks are modified with bends in their shanks for use in jig molds.

CIRCLE
Perhaps the best innovation in hooks to come along, circle hooks promote healthy catch and release. The design of the hook itself, when used properly, prevents fish from being hooked in the gut. Many sea anglers have a problem using these hooks because they require no hook set. If you do try to set the hook, it will generally come out of the mouth of the fish. These hooks are designed to move to the corner of the fish’s mouth and set themselves as the fish swims away from you. Anglers feel a bite and simply begin reeling, slowly at first, then faster as the hook gets set.

LIVE BAIT
These hooks generally have a shorter shank than other hooks. Whether that is to allow the live bait to swim more freely or to be less apparent to the fish is debatable. My vote is to allow the bait to swim more freely. These hooks come in regular and circle designs. Regular live bait hooks will be swallowed and result in gut hooks most of the time. Circle live bait hooks provide a greater chance for a good release.

 

BAITHOLDER Baitholder Hooks – These are very widely used by sea anglers. These are good hooks for worm bait they have a ringed eye and have 2 slices or barbs in the shank to assist with holding the bait up the shank of the hook.

KAHLE
The curve on these hooks makes them ideal for live bait. Made from the same wire as the Aberdeen hooks, they will bend if hung on the bottom of some structure. However, once a fish is hooked, the design of the hook prevents it from being straightened.
Hook Choice!

First, use common sense. As simple as that may sound, I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen people make some really bad hook choices. Match the hook size with the fish!
Second, use some trial and error and learn from your mistakes. No one became a good fisherman overnight. All of us had to learn either from someone else or by trial and error.
Thirdly, get a good brand of hook, such as Sakuma or Mustad. Try to avoid cheap hooks for the reason that they are just not up for the job, you don’t want to let that fish of a life time get away because of a crap hook bend out on you! If you are going to spend any money on Terminal tackle you hooks should be the number one first choice.

My personal favourites are Sakuma Singers and Mustad Worm hooks for flatfish and Mustad Aberdeen and Ultra Point Bass Hooks for Bottom Fishing for Huss off the rocks where a stronger hook is needed but a larger gape for bigger baits is required.

Finally, to all of you who are new to fishing, try taking these examples and build your learning experiences upon them. Trial and error are often the best teachers in any skill.

Bass, Pike, Perch And Other Game Fishes Of America $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:bass. The tackle likewise may be the same, though for the heavy bass of Florida the rod may be eight, or even nine ounces, if preferred. Hooks may also be employed of a larger size, say Nos. 1 to 1-0, or even 2-0, as larger minnows are used for bait. Some anglers of the Middle West have adopted a very short rod of six feet or less for casting the live frog or pork-rind overhead, in the same way as casting a fly. This is a very primitive style of bait-casting, being the same as practised by bucolic boys and Southern negroes using a sapling pole without a reel. The frog is reeled up to within a few inches of the tip and propelled like a wad of clay from a slender stick as we were wont to do as boys. The frog is projected with great accuracy, but not without a smack and splash on the water. With such a rod most of the pleasure of playing a bass to a finish is lost. Presumably the end justifies the means, but this method does not appeal to the artistic angler. If bait must be used, a small minnow, lightly cast from a suitable rod, is more in accordance with the eternal fitness of things and the practice and traditions of the gentle art. In very weedy ponds and lakes, however, where there is not open water enough u. o o w to play a bass, and where it must be landed as soon as possible, this rod and style of casting answer a good purpose. Still-fishing is the same for either species of black-bass, but as it is usually done from an anchored boat on Northern lakes, where the large- mouth bass is of greater size and weight than the small-mouth bass, somewhat heavier tackle may be used than recommended for the small-mouth. Trolling with the live or dead minnow, or a small spoon with a single hook, is a very successful method on lakes, ponds, and broad, still rivers. A grea…

Good for greyling. BOTTOM FISHING. In bottom angling, the ground baits are of great use, to be put in where a person intends to fish. Hooks of all sizes must be carried ready tied on the gut, for bottom fishing and dibbling. The angler should select one that is of a size corresponding to the bait he is going to use. WORM FISHING. Worm fishing for trout commences early in the spring, in small brooks, with a rod suitable to theplace : if it be encumbered with wood, a short one is best; if open, a long one; the lash which is attached to the reel line being also very short. In broader rivers, and for swift streams, the lash must be wrapped about with waxed silk, instead of tying it with knots, i. e. the hair part next the gut, which must be two yards long. A large pistol bullet, with a hole bored through it, must be put on the lash below the wheel line, and a No. 2 pellet on the gut, so that the lash can run through the bullet: when there is a bite, the bait will show it by pulling it up to the pellet, and letting it go with the stream, which will take it. The bullet must be thrown into the water in the likeliest places: it will lie at the bottom in the roughest streams. The largest fish are often taken this way. Worms. There are only three sorts of worms that need be used:—the brandling, found in manure, or in the old bark thrown out of tanners’ pits, and which has laid some time; the small red worm, found

REQUISITE TACKLE. ROD — ‘WINCH — LINE — SHOTTING—FLOATS—HOOKS — DISGORGES— LOSS OP PISH THROUGH BAD HOOKS—GUT versus HAIR. The Rod.—The roach, or light bottom rod for roach, dace, gudgeon, smelt, and other fight and fine fishing, varies in its length according to the accessibility of the place fished, ranging from nine to seventeen feet, while many professional roach fishers often use one of eighteen to nineteen feet. Baddeley, indeed, says that ” In some of the best swims in the Lea, a rod twenty or twenty-four feet long is requisite, made of the lightest materials, so that it is straight and strikes true.” It can be neither too light nor too elastic, and it is therefore often made of bamboo. As there are several distinct schools of roach-fishers, and as these agree in few particulars, we will briefly state the principal points of difference in the rods used. The Lea school generally prefer rods from fifteen to twenty feet long, made of a white sort of bamboo cane, reported to be found in perfection in South Carolina. These rods taper very evenly from tip to butt when they are of large size. There is little spring in them, except in a few feet at the top, and they are used sometimes with running lines, but generally without. The Nottingham rod is from ten to twelve feet in length, and generally made in four pieces, the two lower of choice tough white deal, the two upper of lancewood. It is light and springy, has small upright steel rings, and carries a wooden reel with very light silk running line. The rod generally used for Thames punt fishing is about nine or ten feet long, made of hickory or bamboo, but we prefer a light Nottingham rod for the purpose. That for Thames bank fishing may be from eleven tofourteen
