How to remove the barb of the fishhook?

There are barbed hooks and barbed hooks, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The barbed hook can hang live bait, reducing the risk of fish falling. It is more convenient for fish to swallow bait and bite the hook without barb, and it is more convenient without hook. If you accidentally buy a fishhook with barbs, you can use a file or nail clipper to insert the barbed part of the fishhook between the blades, hold down the handle with your right hand, and turn the fishhook with your left hand to take out the barbs. Let's see if the anchor hook is barbed. 1. Is the anchor hook barbed or not?

Anchor hooks are divided into barbed hooks and non-barbed hooks, and barbed hooks are generally located inside the hook tip and have a certain degree of warping. Generally, hooks of the same brand and model will have barbed hooks and non-barbed hooks, so which one is better?

Advantages and disadvantages of 1. barb

(1) Advantages

The barbed anchor hook has barbs, so even if we choose earthworms, insects and other living things as bait, the bait will not fall off because of their struggle and peristalsis. In the actual fishing process, after the hook successfully stabs the fish, the risk of the fish falling down can also be reduced because of the barb, thus reducing the decoupling rate when we fish.

(2) Disadvantages

When there are barbs on the hook, the fish may have a certain sense of obstruction when eating, which makes it impossible for the fish to swallow the bait and bite the hook smoothly. Because of the barbs, there will be some resistance when we lift the rod to stab the fish. At the same time, when we want to take the hook off the fish, we need to fix the fish first, and then take the hook off by hand, which takes some time. Moreover, in the process of fishing, it is inevitable to hang the hook on clothes or trousers, or when copying fish with a fishing net, the hook will hang on the fishing net. At this time, the barb of the hook will bring us trouble, making it difficult for us to take out the hook smoothly.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of barb-free hook

(1) Advantages

The barb-free fishhook has no barb obstruction, which is more beneficial for the fish to swallow the bait and bite the hook, and it is smoother when stabbing the fish. When taking the hook, it is not necessary to fix the fish first, and then take the hook by hand. As long as you hold the fishing line and touch the fish to the fish fence, the fish will easily fall into the fish fence. Because the fishhook has no barbs, it can be easily taken out even if the fishhook hangs on clothes, fish protectors and other objects.

(2) Disadvantages

Because there are no barbs on the hook, you can't use live bugs, insects, etc. as bait, because when they wriggle or struggle on the hook, they are not bound by barbs and easily fall off. In the choice of bait, barb-free hook is suitable for choosing plant bait or commercial bait. At the same time, when the fishhook is not barbed, if the fishing line becomes loose when we walk the fish, the fish can easily get rid of the fishhook.

Second, the applicable scenes of barbed hook and non-barbed hook

1, barb hook is suitable for the scene.

In leisure fishing, the fishing environment is relatively complex, the fish mouth is relatively sparse, and the choice of bait is relatively rich, so leisure fishing often uses barbed hooks.

2. The invention is suitable for the field.

In competitive fishing, the fishing environment is relatively simple and convenient In order to have a better fishing effect, anglers are also racing against time, and barb-free hooks can just meet this requirement, so barb-free hooks are often used for competitive fishing.
