Indians For Guns

can i use this hook for fishing?

Only if your finger fits in the ring.

It looks too big for the average fishing expedition in India. You just got to use common sense and decide if your target fish can open its mouth enough to swallow the hook a little beyond the barb - including the bait. I really don't think a large hook is needed unless you're fishing in the sea or in a reservoir full of 3kg fish size or more.

Have you seen a Sowl (murral) grab a 2 oz plastic frog? the hook is 4/0... weight is not the criteria for mouth opening.

i was thinking that a large hook would get the large fish? would you not agree?

so what are my chance of dangle this hook with line?

It depends on the typical fish size in the area you are fishing. Just by dangling a large hook, you are not assured of catching a large fish. Success depends more on where you're going to cast your line.

you all saw the pic above and almost all have taken the hook line and sinker.

if you take a closer look at the pic above you would have seen three things at odd with hooks.

take a closer look at the first pic. look at the hole where the line is tied, look at the centre and at the bend in the hook.

thanks for taking the bait

Damn, havent seen that one before lovely.
/s/

So what is it?

oh my, its a hook gun

wow.. shoot some big fish.. I was wondering all this time why its in the humour section

Even if it is used as a 'simple' hook, you could pull up a mermaid or two with that .
Let me know when, and I'll book a boat for the trip.

no way, you are out, being newly married and all, you should have no time for fishing.
