What is a hook used for when fishing?

 

 

The hook is the part of the fishing rod where the bait is placed. It is what captures the fish. Fishhooks come in a variety of sizes and styles. When you fish with natural or live bait, a package with an assortment of hooks ranging from sizes No. 6 through No. 10 is suitable. However, when you fish for catfish or bullheads, larger hooks are needed. The barbs on the hooks can be bent down if you intend to release your catch.
