Many times spinning anglers have faced the situation when a predator grabs the bait, but does not get hooked. This is not the fault of the angler or the predator, but of the wrong hooks.

Immediately about the main thing, hooks should be sharp and of the right size.

The main spinning lures are blades, wobblers and silicone lures.

The hook is used to catch, hook the hooked fish for the subsequent pulling out.

Different hooks are designed for different baits:

1. An oscillating trolling barb is equipped with treble, double and single hooks. In some cases, a hook with four or more undersides.
2. A spinning troller, like the oscillating troller, is also equipped with trebles, doubles or single hooks.
3. Thewobbler is equipped with trebles and single hooks more often, less often with doubles.
4. Silicone bait is equipped with a jig head, offset hooks, single, double and treble hooks. Large, more than 13 centimeters, are equipped with special jigs, in which different hooks are used.

The choice of hook for spinning fishing is determined based on the object of fishing. The hook should be the right size, so that the fish ate it and was well hooked on it. If the hook is larger than necessary, the fish will not be able to swallow it and get hooked. There will be a lot of blank strikes. Sometimes the fish will strike. If, on the contrary, the hook is too small, then the fish will swallow the hook but not always get hooked. There will be a lot of hookups.

For example, for perch you need a smaller hook, and for pike – bigger. When the optimum hook size is chosen, there are minimal hook-ups, and the fish is hooked more often and more reliably. An important criterion for selecting a hook is the issue of passing the bait through water obstacles: vegetation, rocks, snags and everything that can catch the bait in the water.

Hook for wobbler

Not always the hooks with which the wobbler is equipped, initially suitable and suit spinning. The manufacturer of the wobbler mainly pays attention directly to the bait, loading, and fittings in the second place. Therefore, not always hooks are installed good quality and the right size.

The choice of hook for a wobbler should be determined by the following conditions:

1. The size is chosen based on the object of fishing.
2. The selected hook should not interfere with the game wobbler.
3. The passage of the wobbler through water obstacles.

The use of a single hook is justified in delicate fishing on the principle of “catch and release”. Single hook is less traumatizing to fish. Hooks without beard are also used for such fishing. The necessary size can be determined based on the thickness of the wobbler. The thickness should not be less than the spread of the selected hook.

The number of hooks installed on the wobbler is determined by the tasks that are assigned to the bait. Often when catching pike, three small hooks installed by the manufacturer are replaced by two larger hooks. When replacing it is necessary to take into account the changes in the game of the wobbler. Installing hooks that are too heavy can minimize the roll of the lure. Installing new fittings affects the buoyancy of the wobbler. By changing the weight of the hardware, you can change a floating wobbler from a floating wobbler to a neutrally buoyant lure, and from a suspender to a slow sinking lure. Changing the hooks on a wobbler is a fine-tuning of the lure’s performance.

Wobbling trollers

Oscillating blades, as a rule, are equipped with a single, double or triple hook. Single and double hooks are attached to the trollers by means of a crown ring or fixed connection using a rivet fastener or soldering.

Hooks fixed permanently, mainly installed in the trollers – unhooked.

Each of the trollers is designed to catch certain fish. For example, a small troll – pilker is equipped with a small tee for catching perch. At the nibble of a pike or a large stud, such a hook will not be able to reliably catch the fish. He can also simply unbend and when pulling out. Hence the conclusion that the hook should be used that is maximally suitable for the main object of fishing.

For oscillating tiners there is a rule that the spread of the hook or hooks should be approximately equal to the width of the tiners. But if you want to catch on a wide-bodied trolley small-mouth fish – bass, you need a hook of smaller size.

The Finnish company Kuusamo has done it in an original way, equipping their trollers with two hooks at once. On such a trolley well catches both pike and small perch. To reduce the hooks when wiring blades it is advisable to use doubles and singles. The hook, which has a smaller underdeck, itself is already more passable than a tee.

Rotating blades

The choice of hook for a rotating troller is determined mainly by the size, not the number of underdevices. The size of the paddles should be approximately equal to the width of the petal of the spinning troller. For delicate fishing, single hooked trolling lines without beards are used.

Fish mouth penetration

When catching pikeperch, which has a bony mouth, special requirements are imposed on the sharpness of the sharpening of the fishing hook. The sharpness of the point should be perfect, in order to penetrate the predator’s mouth as well as possible.

It should be understood that if you use a treble or double, in order to catch the fish, breaking through the mouth, you need to apply an effort of three or two times more than when using a single. Therefore, it is often advisable to use a single. Then when hooking a fish all the force of hooking is applied to one point – the sting of the hook. In this case, to penetrate the bony mouth is much easier than with a treble, where the force of hooking is distributed on three stings, which respectively reduces the penetrating ability. When fishing for trout are also used hooks that are not equipped with a beard. They are less traumatizing to the fish and have maximum penetration capacity.

The hook’s piercing power is also affected by the angle at which the fish is hooked. The angle between the direction of the fishing line (between the direction of the force applied to the hook) and the sting of the hook should preferably tend to zero. Otherwise, the hooking force will be less, the hook will enter at an angle, which will give the fish a better chance to descend.

Hook in an oscillating troller on the lure

The position of the hook on the oscillating troller is important. It is easier to bring a bitten fish out confidently with a hinged connection than if the hook is soldered or riveted into the troller. A movable connection to the trolling rod gives the fish less chance of straying. When the pike comes out on the candle, shakes his head, trying in every way to get rid of the hook, thanks to the movable connection with the trolling motor, the hook sits securely in the mouth of the fish.

The opposite situation, when the hook is fixed in the oscillating troller stationary, that is soldered or riveted. In this case, during the catching can come at a time when the turn of the head of the fish, the troller will become a kind of lever in relation to the hook. In this case, if the line remains taut, the pike is easily released from the hook.

Stationary attachment of a single or double hook in the oscillating troller not only works perfectly as an unhooking, but also well cut through the mouth of the fish. Compared to the swivel hook connection, the realizations of nibbles at the stationary connection are more. This is due to the fact that no matter how the pike grabbed the troller, the hook will always be directed towards the jaw of the fish.

Thus, it turns out that a rigidly fixed hook is better at catching fish, and the hook on the swivel base gives less chance for the fish to go down when pulling out.

Wobbler Passability

To increase the passage of the wobbler through aquatic vegetation and other underwater obstacles, instead of the standard tees, the wobbler is equipped with double or single hooks. In this case, the possibility of leaving the bait on snags or in the process of wiring to snag on it grass is sharply reduced.

Double hooks are selected one to two sizes larger than the standard ones. Doppelgangers can be installed without crown rings, when the fixing loop is located longitudinally to the body of the wobbler. Hooks are located stinger to the tail, so that when moving forward the doppelganger pressed against the body. This reduces snagging. With double hooks pressed to the body wobbler well passes vegetation, snags and other underwater obstacles. On a pause, the hooks are lowered vertically, revealing sharp stingers. The pike bite, as a rule, occurs on the pause. Just open double hooks are ready to attack.

With such a change theoretically can be more failures. But, firstly, the loss of the wobbler when snagging can be a greater nuisance than a failure. And secondly, if during the replacement to observe the correct size of the substitute hooks, then in general, the hooking will not suffer. The single hook is installed on the wobbler so that when moving the stinger was directed upward. So you can avoid a lot of hooks.

Hook strength

Hooks are subjected to maximum loads when hooking a biting fish. It is important that the hook does not break or bend under such stresses. The choice of the required hook strength is determined by testing or by the reputation of the hook manufacturer.

Testing is done for bending or breaking using pliers and a vise. The head or top of the forend is clamped in the vise and the underside of the hook is bent with the pliers. As a result of such tests, it can be understood whether the selected hook can fulfill its purpose.

The thickness of the wire from which the hook is made directly affects its strength characteristics. The strength (elasticity) is also affected by the hardening of the hook metal. It should be understood that the thicker the wire, the less penetration capacity of the hook. And vice versa, the thinner the wire, the easier it is for the hook to penetrate the hard mouth of the fish. For example, when fishing for pikeperch, it is not recommended to use hooks made of too thick wire. And vice versa, when hunting for a large predator hooks should be chosen from thick wire, it is better if they are also faceted.

Hooks for sea fishing differ from hooks for fresh water in that they have a special protective coating. Sea water is an aggressive environment for metal. Thanks to the various coatings on saltwater hooks, the metal is less affected by oxidation by sea water. In fresh water, such hooks do not rust and remain sharp for a long time.

So, the strength of the hook can be judged by:

• the reputation of the manufacturer;
• wire thickness and hardening;
• the presence of anti-corrosion and protective treatment
• In practice, you can pre-check the strength with a vise and pliers.

Silicone lure

Silicone bait is equipped with various hooks: hook on a jig head, offset, single, double and treble. The choice is determined by the silicone bait itself and the tackle on which the fishing is supposed to be done.

When equipping a silicone bait hook should pay attention to the size. It should fit the size of the bait. If the hook is too large, the bait will not play properly, and too small – the fish will be worse hooked. When equipping large silicone baits, in addition to jig heads and offset hooks, special rigging is also used:

Hooks on the bait can be decorated with down from feathers, down or synthetic materials. A sharp sting and the right hook size is the key to good hooking of fish.
