A Guide to Coarse Fishing Hooks

A basic guide to fishing hooks and what baits you can use on the size of hook you will be using for carp and coarse angling.  This is a general guide only because bear in mind that manufacturers sizes of hooks can vary quite significantly. What may be a size 14 hook with one manufacturer could be a 16 with another.

Ok. Your going to choose a hook to catch your fish; how do you decide what size of hook you are going to use?

1. do you choose a hook to match the fish you are going to catch or

2. a hook to match the bait you will be using?

The answer is really a mixture of both!

Barbless Fishing Hooks

I recommend all anglers fish using barbless hooks. The advantage of using barbless hooks is that they are easy to remove and do not harm the fish as much as a barbed hook could.
If you only have barbed hooks you can use a pair of pliers to crush down the barb.

I believe that barbs were initially introduced to stop the bait coming off and not to hold the fish on once hooked.
