What hooks are needed for catching bream - size and manufacturer

For bream fishing, you can use standard hook models. But experienced anglers are advised to take into account the size of the fish, seasonality and characteristics of the reservoir. Hooks for bream should be reliable, have good performance, and be easy to mount on a fishing line.

Criterias of choice

The specific hook for bream is selected depending on the type of bait. For bait of plant origin, a classic rounded shape is recommended. The sting can be straight, directed to the inside or outside. Its shape contributes to the reliable fastening of the bait.

What is the best hook for worms or maggots? For them, choose flat or elongated models. The presence of grooves on the surface contributes to ease of planting, small size will not scare away predatory fish. Similar hooks are attached to the feeder.

Additional criteria for choosing equipment for bream:

Manufacturing material. High carbon steel or stainless equivalent. The latter option is more expensive, but there is a protective anti-corrosion layer on the surface.
The optimal number depends on the type of bait and the size of the potential prey. For yellow and red worms, #6-10 are preferred. When fishing for porridge, bread or corn, choose a number from 8 to 14. Maggots are well attached to # 10-14. For bloodworms use No. 14-16. When fishing with foam plastic, the size of the hook for bream should increase by at least two positions.
Thickness. When catching large bream, the use of thin models is impractical - the fish can cut its lip and break loose. But for small specimens, this option is optimal - the risk of injury will decrease.

The bream is a cautious fish and a large hook can scare it away. Exception - the bait covers the entire surface. This is true for baits of plant origin.

Performance Analysis

In addition to the number, thickness and shape, additional factors must be considered. For fastening to a fishing line, a closed ring or a spatula can be provided in the design. The first is convenient for knitting a catch, but affects the increase in size. When choosing small sizes, it is recommended to choose a shape with a spatula - after knitting a knot, the wire will visually immediately go to the fishing line, without intermediate elements in the form of a ring.

When choosing, pay attention to the following qualities:

Color. Depends on the type of bait. For bread or dough, a white surface is needed, worms, maggots and caterpillars are planted on burgundy, blue or green hooks. The red ones are for bloodworms, the yellow ones are for corn.
Coating. Lacquered - the most unstable, they can be caught up to 10 times, then the coating is worn out. It is better to use hooks with a nickel surface.
Sharpness. After several bites, the sting may become dull - this must be checked before each catch. Fishing with insufficiently sharp tackle will not bring the expected result.

Some manufacturers offer exclusive hooks for this type of fish, allegedly differing from the standard ones in shape. In practice, small changes in the configuration will not affect the likelihood of a successful catch, and in some cases may negatively affect the bite. It is recommended to choose classic and time-tested models.
