At the present time, you can hardly surprise anyone with the variety of goods for fishing, and fish hooks are no exception. What types, models and sizes are not currently on sale - there are products for every taste.

Many anglers are at a loss when choosing the right hook, manufacturers also introduce additional confusion by marking their products in completely different ways. Let's try to understand a wide range of sizes of the main element of fishing equipment.

What are the classifications?

The number of the hook, indicating its size, is the most important factor in its selection. Different manufacturers adhere to one of their classifications, so you can often see on the counter, for example, two hooks with the number 10, one of which is more than two times larger than the other. So, what are the numbering of hooks in principle:

• domestic, or Soviet;
• international, or Reddish scale;
• Japanese;
• Finnish;
• Chinese.

Let's take a closer look at how each of them differs.

Patriotic

Without boasting to other countries, let's say that our numbering is the simplest. The size of a fishing hook in the Soviet scale corresponds to its width in millimeters. The line of models in the domestic classification starts with number 2 and ends with number 16.

The width of the hook is the distance from its forearm to the sting.

International

The name of the international was appropriated by the enterprising British. Their classification is also called the "Reddish scale" after the name of the city of Redditch, in which the factory for the production of fishing accessories, and in particular fishing hooks, was located. What guided the founders of the company, having adopted this size scale, is unknown, but it is now the most important in the world.

The peculiarity of this numbering is that the smallest hook in it has the largest numerical value, number 24, and vice versa, the first number is the largest hook, corresponding to our 10.

Larger hooks, which are offset hooks in particular, are numbered with two numbers, such as 2/0.

Japanese

Their Japanese comrades withdrew not far from the British internationals. Without further ado, they practically licked the English numbering from the Reddish scale, changing it by two points upwards.

So, for example, the number 10 fishing hook for the British, the Japanese manufacturers will designate the number 12, and the number 22 - the number 24.

Finnish

The Finnish scale for fishing hooks is almost the same as the Japanese version, but there are some differences:

• not all dimensions are present in it;
• the bottom of the table, where there are large hooks, is indicated by two numbers, as in the international one;
• the numbers 14, 16, 18, and 22 are the same as the Japanese numbers if one point is minus.

Comparison of classifications

Now, for example, let's compare our classification with their numbering. You can see this in full from the presented table, but in the text we note that if we take the number 10 on the international scale, then it will correspond to:

• domestic number 5;
• Japanese number 12;
• Finnish - also 12.

And if we take the Soviet number 10, we get the following pattern of correspondence:

• international number 1;
• Finnish is missing;
• japanese number 3.

About the Chinese

Numerous Chinese manufacturers have their own idea of ​​marking hooks. They sometimes try to imitate any one system, many of their hooks are the same size as Japanese ones.

Other comrades use a progressive scale like the Soviet one, in which the number increases with size. In general, you need to look here, especially in the context of the fact that at present the Chinese brothers have begun to produce very good products, and their price is an order of magnitude lower than that of Japanese or European manufacturers.

Selecting a specific number

Still, it is better to choose hooks directly in the store and taking into account several criteria. The correct sample should look like this:

• fit in the fish's mouth, but not get lost there;
• correspond to the size of the bait in terms of the width of the hook and the length of the forearm;
• have a thickness that allows you to pull out the intended fish.

Some large manufacturers, such as Owner, even label their products according to the bait that should be used with a particular hook model. Other manufacturers tend to give the name of the fish they think they are going to catch with this hook. For example, there are special hooks that are named depending on the type of fish:

• carp;
• perch;
• catfish;
• fly fishing for knitting dry and wet flies;
• offset for mounting silicone spinning lures;
• tees for equipping wobblers and spinners.

In addition to the dimensional criteria indicated above, when choosing a hook, you should pay attention to its characteristics such as:

• sharpness of the sting;
• direction of underwear;
• curvature of forms;
• the presence of an ear or spatula;
• number of underwear: single, double or tee;
• product color;
• elasticity.

Recall that the sharpness of the sting is checked on your own nail. A sharp hook when trying to run it across a surface. sticks, and blunt - slides.

Hooks: number matching table
The description of any knitted model includes a list necessary materials and tools. If the model is crocheted, the list of tools indicates the numbers of the hooks that were used when knitting.
IN Russian tradition hook numbers match their thickness. Hook #2 is a 2mm thick hook. Hook No. 0.75 is a 0.75 mm thick hook.
In the USA and Great Britain, where the metric system was not used at all until recently, and is now used along with the old units of measurement, the hook numbering is fundamentally different. This must be taken into account when starting work on translation models.
Hooks can be made from different materials: there are metal, wood, plastic, bone hooks. But most often modern hooks are of two types: steel and aluminum with enamel coating. Thin hooks are made of steel - from 0.5 to 2 mm thick. These hooks are very strong, do not bend, do not break, and since steel has a high specific gravity, even very thin hooks cannot be called weightless and are pleasant to hold in the hand.
Hooks 2 mm and thicker should be made of a lighter material, such as aluminum. To ensure smoothness, durability and so that the material does not deteriorate, they are covered with a layer of enamel.
In English descriptions, aluminum hooks are simply called crochet hooks (crochet hooks) and are distinguished by numbers, indicated in the American tradition by a letter and a number in brackets (or through a slash). The farther from the beginning of the alphabet is the letter (and the larger the number corresponding to it), the thicker hook.
Steel hooks are called steel crochet hooks (steel hooks for knitting) and their numbers are indicated only by numbers. The larger the number indicating the number, the hook thinner.
The descriptions of most of the models presented on our site were published in the USA, so you usually need to focus on the American notation.

Successful fishing for crucian carp largely depends on properly assembled gear. It doesn’t matter if you fish with a float rod or a donk - you will definitely need hooks. This important piece of equipment can seriously affect the number of bites and the final catch. Therefore, we will pay special attention to how to choose hooks for catching carp under a variety of conditions.

It depends on the correctness of the selected hooks whether the fish will not break at a crucial moment.

Sizes and types of crucian hooks

Carp is not considered a large fish. In 90% of cases, individuals are caught, the size of which does not exceed the palm of an adult male, and their weight ranges from 100 to 500 grams. At the same time, the crucian has one physiological feature- This is a small mouth, which is no longer intended for swallowing food, but for sucking it. Therefore, the size of the hooks for catching this fish is selected taking into account these moments. It is also good to pay attention to their shape.

There are many classifications for numbering hooks. Each manufacturer takes its own parameter as a basis. For example, width, that is, the distance from the sting to the forearm. This is how the hook number is calculated according to the Russian classification (also valid in the CIS countries). It turns out that the closer this figure is to zero, the smaller it is.

For international numbering, it's just the opposite. According to her, for catching crucian carp, it is best to use fishing hooks, the size of which varies from No. 18 to No. 10 (according to Russian - No. 2.5-5). Smaller products simply will not allow you to hook, larger ones may not fit in the fish's mouth at all.

The numbering of hooks may depend on its various parameters.

Which number is suitable for a particular equipment is determined by the angler himself, taking into account:

• the estimated weight of the fish;
• tackle;
• the thickness of the fishing line on the leashes (the thinner it is, the smaller the size of the hook);
• bait;
• time of year, etc.

Another important point is the shape of the hook. Most often, it is determined by the length of the forearm, underwear (the distance from the bend to the tip of the sting) and the throat (the distance from the sting to the forearm). From here it is customary to single out the 4 most common types of hooks that differ from each other in shape. These are Aberdeen, Kirby, Limerick and Crystal. Any of the listed types of hooks can be used to catch crucian carp.

Hooks can be of various shapes

Carp fishing: how to choose the right hooks

Catching crucian carp only on hooks of the same size and a certain shape is a common mistake of many anglers. For example, beginners often attach a standard hook with a rather long shank and a small mouth to the bait. For a bait such as a dung worm or crawl, it will fit perfectly. But for dough and pearl barley, it is of little use, because most of it remains uncovered, which greatly alarms the fish.

Here you will need a product with a short forearm and a wide hook, which will ideally fit round baits - pellets of bread, corn, dough, etc. In addition, such nozzles hold on to rounded hooks more firmly. Carp is much easier to swallow them. Due to this, the number of bites significantly increases.

In no case should you have hooks of only one size and type in your fishing arsenal.

Especially if you decide to go fishing for crucian carp. When catching this fish, you will definitely use a variety of bait. Naturally, you cannot put a long dung worm and a thin bloodworm on the same hook.

You should always take different types of hooks with you.

When choosing hooks for crucian fishing, it is necessary to take into account other features of fishing. For example, in the middle of summer in hot weather, crucian carp becomes too picky. You have to use the lightest and most inconspicuous equipment. Therefore, preference is given to miniature hooks (up to the “bleak” type, the size of which is No. 16-20).

However, if carp of decent weight is found in the reservoir, then the situation changes. Catching it on small hooks is inefficient. After all, hooking a large fish will not be easy even with a float rod. A small sting will not be able to pierce his lip, and crucian carp, having pricked him, will only spit out the nozzle. Therefore, for fishing for individuals weighing more than 0.5 kg, hooks will be required, the size of which will be equal to No. 10-12 according to the international classification.

Hooks for fishing with a float rod

Crucian is most often caught on a float rod or with the help of a feeder - a fairly catchy long-distance casting tackle. Therefore, many anglers are interested in what kind of hooks are more suitable for rigging such rods. Let's start with the "classics" - a fishing rod with a float.

For catching carp on a float rod, hooks No. 14-10 are used.

As a rule, the float tackle for crucian carp has two leashes. It is best to tie two different hooks to each of them. One with a longer or standard handguard. Its size can vary from #14 to #10. As you already understood, it will be intended for large animal baits.

If you plan to fish for bloodworms or maggots, and not for worms, then both hooks can be with a shortened shank.

A slightly smaller hook is installed on a shorter leash. Standard according to the international classification, its number is 12-16. The forearm can be a little shorter, but the prying is necessarily wider than that of the hook on a long leash. After all, it will serve for vegetable bait, which ideally should cover the hook completely, leaving only the eye.

It turns out that the hook for catching crucian carp on a float rod should first of all be selected taking into account the nozzle. It is quite easy to do this. It is enough to purchase several types of hooks in advance, the size of which, we repeat, will be no more than No. 10 and no less than No. 18.

The size of the hook is selected depending on the bait used for catching crucian carp.

As for its other characteristics, the most suitable option is different:

• strength (for example, made of hardened metal);
• increased forearm (about 2 times the length of the bend);
• sting, bent inward (reduces the number of gatherings);
• thin but short edge;
• straight ring eye (provides a more reliable connection with the fishing line).

Hooks for catching carp on a float rod should be dark, and preferably black, so that at the bottom of the reservoir the fish sees only the bait, and not them. Silvery or bright (yellow, red, etc.) often do not attract crucian carp, but only scare it away. However, in some reservoirs, crucian carp, on the contrary, bite more actively on multi-colored mormyshkas and hooks. But it happens quite rarely.

The best catch will be with dark hooks.

Feeder hooks

Hooks for feeder, in fact, must meet the same parameters as for fishing with a float rod. True, with this tackle it is still recommended to always use products of a slightly larger size. For example, number 10 or 12. In addition, there is one more wish for feeder hooks. This is the presence of several grooves, resembling a miniature sting, on reverse side forearm. Due to them, the bait in the form of a bloodworm, worm or maggot sits securely on the hook and does not “slide” when casting or lightly touching the fish.

Also, hooks with a sting inclined to the side or directed inward are well suited for the feeder. Firstly, thanks to the displaced tip, it is very difficult for the fish to break loose. Secondly, she will feel it only when it will be too late to do something. Thirdly, such hooks provide better self-setting, which is very important when fishing on long-range gear, where it is not always possible to immediately respond to a bite.

For the feeder, it is advisable to buy thicker hooks, that is, with a wire thickness of more than 0.5 mm.

When fishing on a feeder, hooks are selected that are different from those used for a float rod

This is due to the fact that when fishing with such gear, the risk of hooking on any snag or branch lying at the bottom increases. A thin hook can break easily. Let's not forget that large crucian carp or even carp often peck at the feeder. In this case, a thicker hook will noticeably help when fighting. If it is too thin, it will simply tear the fish's lip, ensuring its coming off.

• Experienced anglers advise changing hooks on any tackle after 2-3 fishing trips. Otherwise, they can become dull and increase the number of fish coming off. If any day was especially catchy, then it does not hurt to immediately tie new hooks.
• To check how sharp the sting of the hook is and whether there is a need to replace this piece of equipment, it is enough to gently run your finger over it. If it seems that the skin seems to stick to it, then everything is in order.
• The most difficult thing is to choose the right hook for such bait as bloodworms and maggots. It must be small. For example, number 18 or 16. If you use a large size, then when planting a bloodworm or maggot, you will simply ruin the nozzle, which in the water will look unappetizing for crucian carp.

After a couple of successful fishing trips, you should change the hooks to new ones.

• Some anglers put a magnet in the hook box. It has been observed that such magnetized rigs significantly improve the bite. Believe it or not this fishing sign is up to you. However, it is very convenient to store crucian hooks on a magnet. A piece of styrofoam or polyurethane foam is also suitable, where they can be pricked.
• It is not recommended to store hooks in vacuum packaging. It has been proven that in this way they retain the smell of the metal and the substances with which they were processed for a long time. Carp, having an excellent sense of smell, may neglect the bait because of this. Therefore, after purchase, it is best to soak them in sunflower oil or strong fragrance.

In custody

Professional fishermen are meticulous in their choice of hooks. We advise, at least, not to save on this component of any equipment. Among the most high-quality manufacturers, we single out Japanese and German brands. For about 100-200 rubles, you can buy a package of excellent hooks of 10-15 pieces. And enough for a long time, and not hit the pocket.

More information about hooks you will find in the video:

Any fishing tackle consists of such an indispensable element as hook. If you can use a piece of a wooden branch as a rod, and use an ordinary thread as a fishing line, then the situation with a hook is much more complicated. Without a hook, fishing cannot take place, and this is an indisputable fact today. The effectiveness of fishing, largely depends on the quality of this accessory. The sharper the hook, the more likely it is that the hook will land on the fish.

There are a variety of types and sizes for fishing. various kinds fish. Depending on the size, a numbering system for fish hooks has been built.

All commercially available hooks are divided into the following types:

• Single hooks. They are the most popular and have one tip and one eye to which the fishing line is attached.
• double fishhook. The basis of this hook is made up of two stings that connect together and have one eye. Used for jig fishing.
• Hook triple or "tee" has 3 stings and one eye. It is very popular with spinningists, since almost all spinning baits that exist today are equipped with a “tee”. The only exceptions are "silicone", which are mainly equipped with a single hook of the appropriate size.

It should be noted right away that such hooks can have different colors, different thicknesses and different shapes.

Sizes and classification of fishing hooks

Along with domestic products, fishing shops have a wide range of Finnish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese manufacturers. Moreover, the numbering of domestic and imported samples is completely different.

The numbering of domestic hooks is supposed to distance from the tip of the hook to its shank, therefore, everything is very simple here.

The international numbering system is somewhat different: the smaller the fishhook, the larger the number it has.

It should be borne in mind that the thickness of the hook is not an indicator of its quality. In this case, it all depends on what alloy the hook is made of. Firms such as Cobra, Garakatsu, Mustad, Hayabasa, Katana, Owner, Siran, Kosadake use only high-quality alloys in the production of hooks, which is why the hooks of such firms are valued.

Selection of fishing hooks

It is very important to choose the right hook for fishing in order for it to be effective. The hook should not alert the fish, but at the same time, it should be strong and sharp.

When buying hooks, you can put pressure on them: if it bends, then it is not suitable for fishing, if it springs, then it can be used for its intended purpose. In this case, it should be borne in mind that there may be hooks overheated. In this case, with stronger pressure, it will simply burst, but this can only be expected from domestic hooks. Imported hooks do not suffer from such a disadvantage, since each company cares about its image.

The size of the hook is selected depending on the size of the fish that you plan to catch. If, for example, a large hook is used to catch crucian carp, then fishing is unlikely to take place. The fact is that a large crucian hook with a nozzle will simply not be able to swallow. When using small hooks, when catching the same bream, when specimens up to a kilogram or more can come across, such hooks will allow the fish to go. Therefore, we can safely say that you need to be able to choose hooks. The color of the hook also plays an important role. It is good to choose the color of the hook to match the tone of the bait. For example, when using corn as a bait, a “gold” hook is more suitable, when fishing with “maggot”, “chrome” will be the ideal color, when fishing with a worm, you can use darker shades, up to black.

Brand manufacturers indicate on the packaging the material from which the product is made. There is a corresponding marking for this: N - nickel, NB - black nickel, BZ - bronze, G - "gilding".

To check how sharp the hook is, you need to run the sting of the hook along the nail. If after that there is a scratch, then the hook is sharp.

To choose the size of the hook for certain conditions, depending on the diameter of the fishing line and the type of fish, you can use the Internet and find the corresponding article.

Numbers of hooks for fishing and their sizes

For different fishing conditions are used Various types hooks. The hook number is its main characteristic. However, the concept of "number" for different manufacturers not the same. Today there are several classifications of hooks for fishing. Basically, fishermen operate international and Russian. But there is also Finnish and Japanese. The firms of these countries adhere to the international classification on imported models, and use their own numbering for domestic consumption.

There is also a Chinese classification. But it is difficult to systematize and compare it with the international one. It's easier to measure with a ruler.

Classification of hooks for fishing

According to the Russian classification, the hook number indicates the distance between the sting and the forearm. If it, for example, is 5 mm, then the hook number will be the fifth. This is the simplest system for numbering. It also takes into account the thickness of the wire and the length of the entire hook. If, for example, a pack of hooks has the following inscription: No. 3-0.1-6, then this means that the hooks have a third number, they are made of wire 0.1 mm thick and have a total length of 6 mm.

Thus, according to Russian numbering, the larger the hook number, the larger it is. The situation is opposite in international numbering. In it, the size of the fishing hook does not reflect the distance from the sting to the forearm. The number is tied to the length of the forearm. But not directly, but with a difference of one unit. For example, hook No. 12 has a shank length of 11 mm. The higher the hook number according to international numbering, the smaller it is.

In general, hook numbering was introduced by the English firm Partridge of Redditch. Since that time, hooks have been classified according to the Redditch scale. Many hook manufacturers indicate that their numbering corresponds to this scale.

Hook packages sometimes have labels such as 4X short shank or 6X long shank. These hooks have an elongated or shortened shank. The number indicates how much the handguard is more or less. For example, a #12 2X short hook has the same shank length as a #14 hook. This classification is usually indicated for those who wish to buy fish hooks for fishing with artificial flies. Typically, such nozzles are indicated optimal models hooks with the above parameters.

For example, hooks with numbers No. 12 - No. 10 or 2X long No. 14 are suitable for tying a grasshopper.

Fishhook sizes

Many anglers will benefit from such a table.

In it you can find out how the hooks for fishing of different numbers are related according to various classifications. The same numbering systems apply to double and triple hooks. If you take hooks from well-known manufacturers, then on the pack you can read information about the diameter of the wire. You can also read for which type of fishing it is better to use hooks and for which fish.

Many manufacturers give the sizes of fishhooks at their own discretion. Therefore, if we take products from different manufacturers with different numbers for comparison, we will get that the distances from the sting to the forearm are different. Experienced anglers prefer reputable brands and they already know that Ovner #14 hooks are different from Mustad hooks of the same number.

How to choose and buy fishing hooks?

The main elements and indicators of any fishing hook are the sting, beard, wire and bend size. Not always a small hook leads to good hooking. Must try fishing different types and sizes. For example, during feeder fishing, it happens that bream and large bream are better hooked on hooks No. 12, and not on No. 14 or No. 16. When the fish is capricious, it often spits out a bait with a hook after the first bites. Small hooks with a straight bend often fly out of the mouth without clinging to the lip, while larger hooks are hooked. Moreover, they are often notched over the edge of the lip. Therefore, you should not stereotypically approach fishing. If you see that the bites are sluggish, short and there are no serifs, then try to put larger models. Maybe you will increase your chances of catching fish.

Experienced anglers know that in warm weather, fish are well caught with larger hooks. They hold the fish better and are more reliable when playing large specimens. For roach on the feeder, models No. 12-14 are suitable, for bream and large crucian carp - No. 10 and No. 8, for carp and carp No. 4 and No. 6.

In cool weather, small models are used - from No. 14 to No. 22. In general, fishing should have different hooks. The best option- choose several series of hooks and buy models with numbers from 10 to 20 at least. The larger the collection of hooks of different numbers you have, the more likely you are to see the bites of sluggish fish.

Before you buy fishing hooks, pay attention to the thickness of the wire from which they are made. For example, for fishing on bloodworms, it is better to use thin hooks No. 16-20 with a diameter of up to 0.3 mm. Often they are red and the pack indicates that they are intended for bloodworms:

For a worm, larger hooks No. 4 - 10 with a long forearm are suitable. It is convenient to string several worms on them, to form bundles. Such models are usually referred to as "Worm".

Models with a long forearm are great for setting live bait and large worms when fishing for bream. On such hooks it is convenient to catch greedy fish, which often swallows the nozzle deeply. In such cases, it will be easier to remove the hook with a long shank.

Hooks for carp fishing are usually rounded, with a short shank and are adapted for large vegetable baits: corn, peas, potatoes, dough, etc. The thickness of the wire in such models is from 1 mm. On packs you can often find the word "Carp".

Particular attention should be paid to the sting of the hook. In good hooks, it has a conical shape, and its length is 3-4 times the thickness of the wire. The sting may be slightly bent to the side or concave inward.

In carp hooks, the sting is most often bent inward, as in the photo. Usually carp swallow the bait well and such hooks hold it well when playing. Such models do not differ in ideal hooking, but this is not necessary when fishing for carp.

Hooks with an even sting, on the contrary, hook fish well, but hold it worse when playing.
