I had over 100 UA-cam tabs open about to start researching. Found yours just before I got started. Definitely saved me a Ton of time! Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Thanks Brother.😁😊
I am new to fishing and so much to learn, especially the confusion regarding Hooks. What a fantastic video from all the ones I've seen, Thank your for your vast knowledge and easier to understand!!!
Just hit me, if you think of the hook sizes in this way it's easier to understand: the numbered sizes are like negatives, while the aughts are like positives. -5 is a lower number than -2, 2 is a smaller number than 5. So the conversion would be -5 -> 5, 2 -> 2/0. I'm a math guy so this is simpler for me. The amount of information in covered in this was just nuts. Nobody else explained it all like this. Definitely appreciated!
Captain, a lot of good information on hooks, i really enjoy your video’s great job. You just saved a lot time standing over a rack of hooks trying to decide which hook to buy .
Outstanding instructional video on hooks. In fact, the best in all of UA-cam. I’ve been fishing for over 45 years and, embarrassingly, never knew all of the details of the different hooks or understood the sizing. TY
In a ship, when you're trying to figure out what floor on the large vessel or submarine you are on, they have placards letting you know what level and frame of the vessel you are on. Well when they are describing the levels, 02/03/04 etc are the higher levels and 1/2/3/4 are the lower levels. Likewise hooks are described using mariner speak/language. 01/02/03/04 are the positive or upper sizes and 1/2/3/4 are the smaller or negative sizes.
Something about fishermen and their inability to judge newcomers i haven’t been shunned once but only helped and given great advice this is just another video proving that
Thank you for making these videos for people just starting out and learning! I just watched this and your beginning bait caster video and learned a ton in 30 minutes. Do you have a beginner video on how to use plastic worms?
Ought means zero, as in 1/0 is a zero size then after that they chain zeros so a 3/0 is a 000 size. I hope that helps make sense of the seeming contradiction.
Thanks. Captain. It really help more understand about Hooks. Your friend Willy. From " Locos X el Marisco " I bought Demon Pro 8'-0 H Rod and Sharky III Reel with your Braided Line 50LB. with Berkley Fusion 19 5/0 Jig and Gulp Jigworm can wait to used in Baja California and South San Diego
@@MAJORBASS2021 I mostly fish areas that have rocky areas & tree laydowns in a lake. I don't want to be getting snagged a lot from fishing from the bank. Weedless Hooks for fishing would be a great fit. Also the size of hooks for the 5" Wacky Worms & 2 3/4"-3" Ned Rig.
Never seen one of your videos before until now and I thought it was very well put together, very informative, well illustrated with SHOWING what you were talking about, and just a great presentation of this information. FANTASTIC VIDEO SIR! [[[ I don't typically hit the like button on videos, I can count on one hand how many videos have got me to hit the like button and/or leave a comment just to praise the video and channel owner. If I'm commenting it's cuz I'm still left with questions. Not today sir. Commenting JUST to sing praises about this video. Job well done! Job VERY WELL done indeed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🎣🎣🎣🎣
So you're saying that all hooks have different gauges and if you are fishing light with a 6 pounds light with a 6 pounds to say 4 pounds you would need a smaller Gauge hook to suit that weight and Pounds to that leader line and main line. So if you've got a complete like set fishing set fishing rod you would definitely like to fish with a smaller gauge?
You didn't say shiner or the sikel hook is took me a year to figure out the hooks and why to use them. Hook something as jig just add lead. J hook or bait hook which one
Nice video with lots of information sir, here in India people are using octopus hook like 1inch size hook for carp fishing using handmade bait. So sir can you tell me which will be best for hooking carp fish like Rohu fish octopus hook or J-hook. I meant in which there is less chance of these carp to miss. Plz respond me. We don't use popup or corn. Kindly watch some Indian carp fishing.
I bought a set of hooks on Amazon. It has #5 through #14. The #5 are extremely small while the #14 is fairly large. How can I find out the actual size of these hooks?
You forgot octopus hooks are also often used as a secondary hooks on a primary J hook the trick of course being never use an octopus hook with a backwards bent eye
@@KastKing Thanks for making great content and quality equipment at reasonable prices. I just caught a nice sheepshead on a Megatron/Perigree II set-up that I bought recently.
Phyllip Davis Thank you so for your kind words. It means a lot to us to be able to bring you good content and gear that can help you in fishing and outdoors. Thank you for your continued support. ❤️
Dont know much about hooks or sizes so when i went on amazon for a size 8 hook I ended up buying. 8/0 hooks which are fucking huge... O well, maybe i can give em to someone when I go on a 1/2 day charter next month
"Aught" is just a southern pronunciation or dialect for the letter "O". The same goes for shotgun shotshell as "Double Aught" (OO) or "2/O" BB pellets.
An aught is not the slash between the numbers. The aught is the zero in the size. Really hard to believe one can learn "everything you need to know" concerning hooks from someone that doesn't even have this basic knowledge about hook sizing.
Barb! That’s me! Lol Seriously though if you don’t already know the easiest way to remove a barbed hook from your skin I’ll tell you. If able clean the area that the hook is, and around it. Push the hook forward until the barb exits the skin. Clip the barb off and pull the hook backwards to remove. For serious injuries always seek professional help, and don’t forget your tetanus shot!
I had over 100 UA-cam tabs open about to start researching. Found yours just before I got started. Definitely saved me a Ton of time! Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Thanks Brother.😁😊

Please , what size and kind of hooks are best for bream snapper and flathead , thanks
Hmmm try small hooks for the panfish and small snapper. For flathead catfish you are gonna want a beefy big hook.
Good
You didn't say shiner or the sikel hook is took me a year to figure out the hooks and why to use them. Hook something as jig just add lead. J hook or bait hook which one
the way my man said octopus"es"🤣

SMALL hooks for carp are the way to go!
Hook sizes depend on manufacturer as well

You forgot octopus hooks are also often used as a secondary hooks on a primary J hook the trick of course being never use an octopus hook with a backwards bent eye
Aught is zero. "four aught" or "four zero".
