![]() ![]() A #6 hook will generally have a shaft about five-eighths to seven-eighths of an inch long. The shaft of the hook also has a somewhat standard length. The largest hook is a 10/0 which is big enough for a shark. ![]() From here, the next size up is a 1/0, then 2/0 and so on, with a 2/0 being a suitable size for plastic worms being used to catch bass. This size system is consistent until you reach a #1 hook. A #22 hook is miniscule and used for tying flies, whilst a #6 hook with a quarter-inch gap is perfect for catching bream. It’s given as a number and the bigger the number, the smaller the size of the hook - up to a point. The size of the hook is based on the gap between the shank of the hook and its shaft (known as its gape) as well as the length of the shaft. You get the idea though both you and I could think of a simple system to use, so surely there is a simple system in use? Unfortunately not. ![]() How hard could it be to think of a system to describe fishing hook sizes in a logical manner? Perhaps a basic numerical measure, with 1 being the smallest size, up to 20 which would be the largest? Or maybe a sizing system, with XXXS to XXXL? (Although there are probably too many hook sizes to make that one work). ![]()
