Fishing hooks are small, pointed tools used in fishing to catch fish. They are typically made of metal and come in various shapes and sizes, designed to hold bait and secure the fish once it bites. The sharp point of the hook penetrates the fish's mouth, allowing anglers to reel in their catch. There are different types of fishing hooks, including jig hooks, circle hooks, and treble hooks, each serving specific purposes. Anglers choose hooks based on the type of fish they are targeting and the fishing technique they are using. Proper hook selection is essential for successful fishing.
