I couldn't imagine ever releasing a fish with a hook lodged in it. If i can't remove a hook without injuring the fish, I'm keeping and eating it. Hell, if I hook a fish in the gut at all i'm keeping it.

[@rubentieken2065]

Very informative. I do use 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 offset hooks for weedless lure fishing in freshwater. Works great.

[@ThatSB]

Largest hook you need for freshwater is 1? Most bass fisherman use 1/0 through 6/0 lol

[@Allyourbase1990]

I use size 3/0 and 4/0 for Texas rigs and flukes . It catches some bass

[@tonnychen2385]

This video is so helpful. Now everything about hook is clear to me

[@davidzevada9722]

I’m confused I got size ten hooks and size 6 hooks yet the size 10 hooks are bigger what is going on???

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

I use barbed hooks I don't think It matters cause when I eat I think that does more damage to the fish then the hook does 😂

[@heathenthatheretic5960]

The hooks size is the same standard for electrical wire sizes..

[@jeffmartin4238]

what about hooks where the eye is bent toward the hook tip?

[@brianmora2254]

Is a size 3/0 EWG from Gamakatsu good for bass or catfish? And is a 6lb test line good to use for this hook on a 6’6 medium casting rod?

[@ThatSB]

What lure are you used? 3/0 is pretty standard for medium soft plastics. And 6lb is a bit light so depends what you are throwing and how

[@ThatSB]

​@@georgepainumkal6333 size 1-3 for bass? Maybe if youre fishing with a damn bobber and worm lol not for soft plastics

[@fredpimpstone7024]

If you go ali express you can get whatever size you want the biggest I've seen is 18/0

[@SMaamri78]

I use #8/0 hooks for freshwater catfish in rivers or large lakes where catching a 30 to 50 pound catfish is quite possible. Some will even use 10/0 hook if targeting trophy size catfish.

[@aleckrug1554]

We use 10/0 hooks for freshwater sharks across the pond here.

[@lennytheleopard]

Yep. Thanks

[@woodpile20]

Hooks are extra sharp , no issues at all. All fish should beware. The are some serious hooks period!!!!

[@SkyNetGeneral-]

That was an awesome video. I didn’t know about barbed they’re evil and I never heard of octopusHook

[@bad.angling]

[@qchae]

Size 5/0 - 8/0 single inline and siwash hooks for musky fishing.

[@saxy8836]

So circle hooks aren’t just for salt water?

[@MrLong-vx3fn]

Disc gorgeuo? What is this known as in America? I just searched it and found nothing!

[@NoBrakes23]

Try disgorger or unhooker

[@smack09]

No trebles, doubles or barbs. 😎
