The key point with choosing hook size is to go with a gape thats wide enough to get a good hold when a fish bites, but not so much it can wrap around the lure

This includes shallow water straylining when fish are soft on the bite, or lure fishing as lures are usually moving when the fish strikes and you have a high chance of mouth hooking your fish KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN FISHING WITH J STYLE/SUICIDE HOOKS Ensure the point and barb of the hook are visible once youve added your bait Fish with the reel in free spool, as this allows the fish to swim off with the bait Strike (pull up the rod sharply) to set the hook A slightly stiffer rod is useful when fishing with J style hooks as the strike is more dramatic and more likely to set the hook If a fish swallows a J style hook, its mortality rate (or chance of a safe and healthy release) diminishes considerably, as the exposed point of the hook will often embed itself in the fishs throat when being pulled out OFFSET HOOKS An offset hook is when the hook point is turned out slightly from the eye and shank of the hook

If a rod has a great feel, you can sense the smallest bites and the action of a lure in the water

Design The design of a baitcast reel sees the spool unravel parallel to the rod
