In order to catch these fish conveniently, it is necessary to make some fishing tools, which are called "fish hooks".

Fixing the hook seems simple, but it contains certain skills. First of all, you need to choose some strong hemp rope or iron wire as fishing line.

From making hooks to fishing for food, the traditional cultural concepts such as "skillful craftsman" and "frugal housekeeping" contained in this process have already penetrated into the daily life of local people. Therefore, hook repair has also become an indispensable part of Henan rural culture.
