What Is The Difference Between A Gold-sleeved Hook And A New

The gold-sleeved hook refers to a golden-colored sleeve hook, which is characterized by thin hook strips, narrow hook doors, long hook handles, straight hook tips, or barbs. The new Kanto hook is improved on the basis of the Kanto hook, which is characterized by thick hook strips, wide hook doors, long hook handles, straight hook tips, and barbs. Let’s take a look at the difference between the golden sleeve hook and the new Kanto hook!

1. The thickness of the hook

The new Kanto hook is a typical thick hook, while the gold-sleeved hook is a typical thin hook. Therefore, the strength of the new Kanto hook is much higher than that of the gold-sleeved hook, but the hook body of the gold-sleeved hook is light and is more conducive to fish swallowing hook bait. Especially when fishing crucian carp on the Taiwan stage, gold-sleeved hooks are generally used.

2. The width and narrow hook door

The hook door of the new Kanto hook is relatively wide, while the hook door of the gold-sleeved hook is relatively narrow. Therefore, the new Kanto hook is suitable for fishing for large individual fish such as carp and grass carp. The gold-sleeved hook is more suitable for fishing for small individual fish such as crucian carp. In fact, the gold-sleeved hook is also the standard hook type for fishing for crucian carp on the platform.

3. Is there any thorns?

The new Kanto hooks are basically barbed hooks, while gold-sleeved hooks are divided into two types: barbs and barbs. Among them, the advantage of the barbs is that it is not easy to escape after being caught in the fish. The advantage of the gold-sleeved hooks without barbs is that the skewers are more powerful and have relatively less damage to the fish.

4. Size

The hook shape of the new Kanto hook is relatively large, while the hook shape of the gold-sleeved hook is relatively small. In terms of size, the new Kanto hook (the length of the hook body is about 9.2 mm and the width of the hook door is about 4.1 mm) is equivalent to the gold-sleeved hook (the length of the hook body is about 9.5 mm and the width of the hook door is about 4.1 mm).

To sum up, there are four differences between the golden sleeve hook and the new Kanto hook. One is that the hook strip of the new Kanto hook is thicker than the golden sleeve hook, the second is that the hook door of the new Kanto hook is wider than the golden sleeve hook, the third is that the new Kanto hook is basically barbed-free fish hook, and the fourth is that the size of the new Kanto hook is larger than the golden sleeve hook.
