3. Method of hanging bait

1. Step 1: First, choose the appropriate soft bait, press the head of the soft bait against the lead head of the lead hook, and measure where the hook should be pierced from to ensure that the soft bait can still maintain its original state after it is hung. The pierced position should not be forward or backward.

2. Step 2: Punch the hook tip of the lead-head hook from the head of the soft insect along the axis of the insect body. It is necessary to ensure that the hook tip always corresponds to the axis of the insect body after it pierces into the insect body. Then put the soft insect in according to the shape of the hook body, so that the hook can penetrate from the previously measured position.

3. Step 3: The hook handle of the lead-head hook has cast lead barbs. The barbs are to ensure that the soft insect and the lead-head hook can be firmly combined. When hanging the bait, pinch the soft insect's head and push forward forcefully until the barbs of the lead-head hook pierce into the insect body to fish.
