Use of lead hook

The use of the lead hook is relatively simple. Before use, it is necessary to detect the water depth and underwater structure of the fishing point, then put the lead hook into the fishing point and move it back and forth by various means. The main function of the lead hook is to increase the weight of the hook, which is convenient for the hook to sink to the bottom and increases the chance of the fish being hooked.

The lead hook is mainly made of heavy metals such as lead or stainless steel, and the heavier end is usually designed as a fish head. The lead hook can increase the weight of the hook and facilitate the hook to sink to the bottom of the water, and its function is the same as that of the lead pendant in ordinary fishing tools. Moreover, the lead hook has another feature, that is, when the hook sinks to the bottom, the lead head is below and the hook is upward, which can facilitate the fish to hook better.

Lead hook is generally a fishing tackle suitable for searching the middle and lower swimming layers. When using the lead hook, the water depth and underwater structure should be detected first, then the lead hook should be placed in the corresponding water area, and then the line should be slowly closed, and the moving direction and position of the lead hook should be released and changed by pressing down the lever, pumping quickly and dragging slowly, which is more conducive to catching fish.
