What makes a great fishing hook?

Is this from that new question site? Come on, we don’t need to answer all their questions.

It’s called tackle because it resembles a tackle of two blocks that are threaded by a line. The best thing for a fishing hook is a barbed hook made of stiff metal, so it doesn’t bend when the fish tries to run.

@zenvelo ?? don’t know about other site.

Sounds like someone needs a trip to Bass Pro- lol

I like the kind that are guaranteed to catch fish!!!

A whopping fish dangling from it?

@KNOWITALL Seriously

I love to fish, I no longer like cleaning fish. It happened the first time I saw a guy with his innards falling out. So I now use no barb hooks. Unless you plan on eating the fish, you want a good barb-less hook. Like the one above.

No snag hooks

@josie – I use barbless too cuz I can’t stand to look into their eyes and then eat them later. Makes catching and landing them more of a challenge as well!

I think it’s the material and the quality of the craftsmanship out towards the design of the particular hook. Tensile strength is one of the most important qualities though! Good luck!
