hook size

hook size
size is determined by the gap or gape between the shank and point; the lower the number the larger the hook, e.g. a size 24 hook has a gap of 2 mm while a size 2 has a gap of 10 mm. After size 1 the numbering system becomes 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 as size increases. There is a great deal of variation in hook size with pattern and manufacturer and other numbering systems may be encountered. Using the correct hook size for the bait and the fish sought after can be critical in successful angling
