Line up the ends of each line together for several inches, then wrap the first line around the second at least five times. Double your line to make a loop, then push the loop through the eye of your hook. A novice fisherman will hit the water armed only with the knowledge of an overhand knot. A real angler wouldn’t dare venture out with such a limited arsenal. Sign-up to receive our monthly newsletter with interesting blogs about fishing and boating.
Next, you are going to make the bend in the other side of the wire. This is the working part of the tool and it is important to make sure the bend is perpendicular to the handle. This will make dehooking fish easier and you will have better leverage. Grind any sharp edges down off of this bend to avoid it chafing your line. Grab the end of your wire with a pair of needle nose pliers and bend it over as shown.
Method 1 of 4:Tying a Basic Slip Bobber Rig
Properly setting a fish hook is a skill all anglers should strive to master. There are many fishing rod movements anglers need to learn, like jigging or twitching, but when it’s crunch-time you’ll lose fish if you can’t properly set the hook. Part of getting good at hooksets is practice and time on the water, yet there are some fundamental elements needed for hooksets to be successful. The hook point is probably the most important part of the hook.
It boils down to knowing where you’re fishing. Look if there’s a fly shop in the area and ask what they recommend because they know the water and what works best there. As always, select a hook size that’s appropriate for the type of bait you’ll be fishing. Slip a heavy sinker weight onto your line, followed by a bead. Thread the sinker onto your line and pull it down until you have an ample amount of room to tie on your other tackle.

Prop baits are fitted with miniature propellers. A light tugging action is all it takes to send them skittering along. This constant movement makes them perfect for fishing rough, choppy waters or calmer areas during rainstorms. This type of hook presentation is known as “weedless,” meaning it will hook fish who take the bait but won’t become snagged on any surrounding objects or cover by accident.
History
It is the point that must penetrate fish flesh and secure the fish. The profile of the hook point and its length influence how well the point penetrates. The barb influences how far the point penetrates, how much pressure is required to penetrate and ultimately the holding power of the hook. Hook points are mechanically or chemically sharpened.
