A fish hook is a fishing tackle that the angler directly contacts with the fish when fishing. It is attached to the bait to attract the fish to eat the bait. After the fish swallows the bait, the fish is pierced through the mouth to catch the fish ashore. The hook is lifted during the fishing process. To the vital role. A high-quality fishing hook should have the four characteristics of being strong, sharp, flexible and light. In the daily fishing process, fish hooks commonly used by anglers can be divided into two types: barbed and non-barbed.
Usually fishermen will directly wind the fishing line onto the coil after fishing, without wiping the hook and the fishing line, and sometimes there are leftover bait or earthworm carcasses on the hook. After returning home, I don’t even bother to move the fishing gear. After not using this set of fishing lines and hooks for a long time, the hooks will become rusty, become no longer sharp, and sometimes even the hooks will become brittle. It is easy to break the hook and run off the fish while fishing. Therefore, we should protect the hooks in all directions after fishing. Let’s share how to maintain the hooks.
1. The hook must be wiped after use. Wait for the hook and fishing line to be fully dried before winding it on the coil.
2. When you are not fishing, you should always take out your fishing tackle for maintenance and self-inspection. If you find that some hooks are rusty or dull, you should use fine sandpaper to polish the rusty hooks. Do not polish too much. More, just a few clicks can polish off the rust on the surface of the hook and restore the brightness.
3. If the hook has been excessively rusted or deformed, you must give up using it, otherwise it will greatly increase the chance of running the fish, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
4. The used fish hooks must not be packed with non-ventilated items such as plastic bags, because if the room is humid, it is easy to have water vapor attached to the inside of the bag.
5. The fish must be maintained after fishing in a place with poor water quality, otherwise it is easy to corrode. It is recommended to wipe the surface of the hook with petroleum jelly after wiping the hook and drying it.
6. Newly purchased fish hooks should also be treated. It is recommended to put them in a closed bottle or box. You can also apply some petroleum jelly or similar grease, and then wrap the fish hooks in tin foil and put them in a plastic bag. Keep sealed inside.
