Bait Hook. As bait comes in various sizes and lengths there are also many different styles of bait hooks. Treble Hook. βTrebleβ meaning consisting of 3 hooks (parts), aka. Circle Hook. Is a circular-shaped hook with a sharp tip. Octopus Hook. Siwash Hook. Worm Hook. Jig Hook.
This depends on your local fishing regulations. A typical rig uses a three-way swivel. One swivel is tied to your main line. The second goes to a weight, typically 18" to 24". The third swivel goes to a piece of fluorocarbon or monofilament fishing line, longer than your line to the weight, with a hook sized to match your local live bait. A trap hook, usually a smaller treble, is connected to the third swivel and pinned into the rear of the bait. If you use an artificial bait, leave off the trap hook.
if you are going for fishing it is recommended that you buy a complete fishing set. But, I recommend live bait like earthworms. If it is in an aquarium I suggest that you buy a fishing net whose size depends on the size of the fish you are breeding.
A fishing bait catapult is generally a type of slingshot used to spread bait in an area to attract fish. It allows someone from shore to set bait (like particle bait or sweet corn) farther out than they can through. Commonly, but not exclusively, used for carp fishing. See related link for video.
The Ledger is simply a weight that is attached to the end of a fishing line. For fishing it is essential that the main line from a reel is terminated in a hook length of line that is of slightly lesser strength ie mainline 12lb and terminal line 10lb. This ensures that if the fish breaks the line it is not dragging a long length around the lake. The set up is simple, we have the main line attached to the weight with a second hook length off the weight with some bait on it. The hook length is of lesser strength. Often a 'hair rig' will be used. This is where the bait used is attached to the hook by a few millimetre of line. This encourages a fish to take the bait without feeling the hook. There are many ways of attaching the hook line to the ledger or main line such as a 'helicopter rig'. I suggest readers do a google search for 'helicopter rig', 'hair rig', 'knotless knot' and ledgering..... regards.... Rufty in Kent
There are two main types of hook - the J hook and the circle hook. J hooks are used by directly driving the hook through the bait and into the fish with a strong upward tug. The hook can end up anywhere from the stomach of the fish to the jaw or be snagged on the exterior of the fish. Circle hooks are swallowed by the fish and are set by winding the line tight. The shape of the hook causes the point to swing around the jaw. Typically, 95% of the hook sets are in the fish's jaw. This allows the fish to be released relatively unharmed. Circle hooks are used very successfully in deep water fishing.
Depends on what type of sturgeon you are looking for. Lake sturgeon generally are fished with worm balls (a number of worms on a single hook) but generaly can be caught with the same bait used for catfish. White sturgeon are generally fished with some type of local dead bait (fish).
Take a weight about one half ounce, place on line around one foot above the hook. Bait with worms or chicken livers, or hot dog chunks. Cast the bait out, let sink, and leave a little slack in the line. He will straighten it out when he hits, set the hook at that time.
they usally cast realy far because of there line ronder. if you set it lose and it should cast a fair distance.
Carp are sucker type fish and require special techniques to catch as they are not like typical game fish. Many people typically catch carp accidentally as they eat worms off the bottom. Carp feed in a manner similar to that of the gold fish you may have had as a pet. The take in debris and spit out what they can not digest... Like the goldfish sucking in rocks and spitting them back out at the bottom of your fish bowl. To complicate matters they are very skittish so the pinch of a hook or loud noise and movement will scatter them. They generally feed off the bottom so you need a bottom presentation. That means you need a hook with a weight and some bait lying at the bottom of the water. Generally people will use a hair rig for carp. Because of the way the feed, sucking in debris and blowing it back out the traditional method of placing bait on your hook is not effective. They tend to sense the weight of the hook or feel the hook point and just drop it and bolt. The hair rig allows the carp to suck in the bait completely mouth it and accept it while pulling in the hook which is set a couple of inches behind the hook and pulled in when the bait is picked up. When the carp feels the pinch of the hook it turns to bolt, with the weight of the sinker acting a stop, this is usually enough to set the hook. You can then real in the fish in a traditional manner. Carp can get very big and are known to be very tough fighters and have become an unofficial sports fish in many areas. Because they re mostly considered a rough fish they can be fished any time of the year in most jurisdictions which adds to their appeal. Another part of the fishing for carp is chumming the areas they frequent (their swims) some people visit days in advance of the fishing trip to spread grains or corn in the water to keep the fish coming back. The day of fishing the water is chummed again to bring in the fish. Unlike other sports fishing carp fishing tends to be more passive because of the feeding habits of the carp. Chum, bait, wait. the thrill of their large size and fight keeps the anglers interested.
A fishing lure is used to catch a fish. It is usually metal or wood with a treble hook or a set of them. They vary in color, shape, size, etc. The bobber is a floating strike indicator used when you want to "float" a baited hook or lure.
I would say about 8. harpooning, netting, set line, worm and hook, spinner, bowfishing, trolling, deep sea.
