I think jigheads could have made an appearance here for how common they are. Otherwise that was a great intro to all the various hooks out there. I like your style and presentation so im saving this for anyone i meet new to fishing for sure :)
I'd argue that jigheads are important enough and have enough variety to have their own video, or videos for that matter! (Please feed us more videos Nat)
Jigheads will be included in Part 2
Learning to fish, your uploads are just in time! More concise and informative than almost any channel I've found. Thank you
Thank you - I'm glad to hear that
Best fishing info guy
Thanks
I was just looking for a video like this lmao
Perfect!
I’ve watched a bunch of your videos the past couple days and you deserve more views and credit for your time! Great info and I always learn something new! Thanks for your help!
I appreciate that and I'm glad the videos are informative for you. 🙂
Thank you for explaining this topic! I was just trying to explain hooks to my daughter on Monday
You're welcome
Good job buddy! Thank you for sharing this and helping others. Keep up the good work!
Thanks
This was very helpful. Thanks for making this!
Glad it was helpful to you!
Nice video
Thanks
Excellent timeing
Great!
Thank you Nat!
You're welcome
First
Thank you for making this video. I just bought a pack of Senkos and I didn’t know what hook to use for a Texas rig.
Great - good luck fishing!
Good morning! Always a joy. Thanks for the upload.
Great!
Hi Nat, sorry for the abundance of questions recently. In general, what lures are best to use during fall? I fish in murky water that isn't too deep.
Also, I have been planning to buy a kayak for fishing in when spring rolls around. are inflatable kayaks safe to fish in?
What are you fishing for? The types of lures are going to vary depending on your target species. Some inflatable kayaks are intended for fishing, so they're very thick and resistant to being punctured by a hook or fish spine. Others are thin and could be seriously damaged by those, so I'd examine the toughness of the material before buying one.
@@FishingwithNat I am mainly fishing for bigger perch and pike.
The only time I use hooks is for rigs
Yeah they can be used on their own or as part of many different rigs.
can I make my own weed hooks?
I've never done it but I'm sure you could make your own weedless hooks with a couple of strands of thick fluoro/mono fishing line or steel wire, and maybe a dab of superglue near the hook eye.
My dad always taught me to use treble hooks with cat fishing because he uses chicken liver as bait. I see a lot of videos saying circle hooks are the best because they self set and are safer for the fish. Are treble hooks still fine for baits like that though?
Treble hooks will work, especially if you're keeping the catfish. But circle hooks are much better because they can actually be swallowed and still pull back out of the throat and hook the fish in the corner of the mouth. They are the best type of hook to use for any type of catfish.
@@FishingwithNat what what you say is the best catfish bait? Btw your videos are incredible and I love them never stop!
@@Darthluke7 Thanks. I think cut bait (pieces of fresh fish) is the best for catfish of all kinds. For bullheads and channel cats, I also have good luck with small pieces of cheese or nightcrawlers. Those are easier options compared to catching bait or preserving fresh fish pieces.
@@FishingwithNat sorry I keep asking stuff but I’m pretty new to fishing haha. What would you say are the best largemouth bass lures? Also how do fish in general react to temps starting to drop this fall and is winter fishing more sparse? I live in northern MO almost Illinois so we have pretty cold winters
Hey Nat! Do you think it would be better to use Aberdeen hooks or small circle hooks to reduce gut hooking panfish? Anyone's advice is appreciated, great video!
If you're gut hooking panfish a lot you aren't setting properly or your hooks are too small
I've googled this issue before and still don't know the answer... Saw one recommendation for a size 6 Aberdeen. I might have seen a size 2 octopus recommendation IIRC? I started using minimum size 6 or lower # ever since a bluegill swallowed mine.
@@dtps_champion6016 that's probably most of it honestly. It's hard to gauge what size to use for the water you're in. I've switched to larger circle hooks and it helps a lot with panfish, but I still gut hook almost every perch I catch. Very hard to balance
Size 8 or ideally size 10 circle hooks are your best bet. I would not suggest using large circle hooks for panfish as, unlike other hooks, circle hooks are actually more dangerous when over sized.
They are meant to be swallowed then pulled back out to the fish’s lip where they catch. This means the hook has to slide out without turning and catching early. Large circle hooks relative to the fish being hooked increase the chance of the hook catching early and gut hooking the fish. J hooks are different because you should never allow the fish to swallow a J hook deeply and should manually set the hook. This means and over sized J hook, while probably less effective, is not more dangerous for the fish.
@@alexbruns4568 I would agree that small circle hooks are good for this issue, or keeping your line tight to feel any bites right away. Perch are especially likely to swallow hooks and they'll regularly chomp down a chunk of nightcrawler intended for a catfish. No type of hook will completely eliminate gut-hooking but either of those techniques will help.
Not all hooks have "eye"....
True - I did not show any that didn't have an eye. Good catch.
@@FishingwithNat it's alright, those hooks are not common in North America, mainly an staple in Japanese market.
I'm a fan of your channel, short but very informative videos for all.
Never thought i needed this video. Made it much easier to pick hooks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
