Is No. 1 Sleeve Hook Fishing Reliable?

The sleeve hook is a general term for all sleeve hooks. Its characteristics are thin hook strips, narrow hook doors, and long hook handles. The advantages are that the hook body is light and easy for fish to swallow bait, and the hook handle is long and easy to remove the fish quickly after being caught. The disadvantage is that the hook strip is thin and easy to be deformed by the fish, so it is most suitable for fishing for small fish such as crucian carp. Let’s take a look at whether using No. 1 sleeve hook wild to fish is reliable!

1. Theoretical data

The smallest model of standard sleeve hook size in No. 1 sleeve hook, from the size, the length of the hook body of No. 1 sleeve hook is about 6.5 mm, the width of the hook door is about 2.7 mm, and the depth of the bottom of the hook is about 2.9 mm. From the tensile value, the average tensile value of No. 1 sleeve hook is about 1.2 to 1.5 kg, but it does not mean that No. 1 sleeve hook can catch 1.2 to 1.5 kg of fish, because the tension generated by the fish in water is much greater than its own weight.

2. Line group matching

No. 1 sleeve hooks generally use No. 0.4 sub-line, and the main line can be matched with No. 0.8, where the tensile value of No. 1 sleeve hook is about 1.2 to 1.5 kg, the tensile value of No. 0.4 sub-line is about 1.2 to 1.5 kg, and the tensile force of No. 0.8 main line is about 1.8 to 2.3 kg. Therefore, the comprehensive tensile value of this line group is 1.2 to 1.5 kg. If you are in a fishing ground where the bottom is not easy to hang, you can also use No. 0.6 main line to enhance the sensitivity of the line group.

3. Discussion on the Fish

Fishing with a No. 1 sleeve hook is actually not reliable. The reason is that the fishing situation in wild fishing is particularly complicated. There are small crucian carp that is less than half a tael or as big as a few kilograms. Catching slightly larger crucian carp with a No. 1 sleeve hook may be pulled and deformed. Therefore, almost no one uses a No. 1 sleeve hook unless they know the fishing situation and know that only small fish such as wheat ears and white strips are used.

4. Things to note

1. It is not reliable to use the No. 1 sleeve hook to fish wildly because the fish in wild fishing is very complicated. If the No. 1 sleeve hook catches a slightly larger fish, it will be pulled and deformed.

2. The No. 1 sleeve hook is slightly larger than the rice grains. From the size and tension value, the No. 1 sleeve hook is most suitable for fishing for wheat ears, tartfish or small individual crucian carp.

3. The number 1 sleeve hook generally uses a number 0.4 sub-wire, and the main line is recommended to use a number 0.8, so that even if the bottom is hung, the sub-wire can be abandoned to ensure the high-priced main line and float.
