How sharp does the hook tip need, is that a problem?

European carp fishing is a kind of fishing technology in natural waters, its hook and braid fishing group is very scientific, characterized by - hook bait separation, bait on the braid, with hard bait does not block the mouth.

Figure 7 is a classic fishing group of European carp fishing - line braid fishing group, note that the hook bait is the black chicken white phoenix pill on the small braid behind the hook, it is hard, resistant to bubbles, resistant to small fish bites, and the orange thing on the hook tip is a water-soluble foam block, it is a kind of PVA foam that can be quickly dissolved by water (more than 1 minute), it can protect the sharp hook tip from hanging on the stone and foreign bodies after entering the water, because after the fishing group enters the water, the water-soluble foam will use buoyancy to support the hook. Then, as the water-soluble foam dissolves, the hook will slowly descend to the lake bed, so that even if the lake bed is full of branches, the hook will not hang.

Therefore, the water-soluble foam can protect the sharp hook tip very well, so that your hook can be pointed a little and then a little sharper, why is European carp fishing more particular about the sharpness of the hook?

This is because the middle fish of European carp fishing relies on the fish to take the hook into the mouth when sucking the bait, and then after the hook tip pierces the skin of the fish's mouth, the fish desperately escapes the strength to stab the fish, which is often said to be passive stinging fish, in this case, whether the hook is sharp enough directly affects the fish rate, the thickness of the hook tip will affect how much strength the fish uses to make the hook stab in, then it must be the thinner and easier to pierce, but too fine is it easy to tip?

That's for sure!

So how to balance the relationship between the thickness of the hook tip and the rate of the fish, the famous British hook grinding master Jason. Jason Hayward's method is to test the tip of the hook with the belly of the finger instead of the usual nail cap, that is, you use the tip of the hook to gently hook the skin on the belly of the finger (Figure 2), if it can be stabbed painlessly and without tipping, this is a perfect balance.

If you are a beginner in grinding hooks, it is recommended to buy a pack of Jasons. Jason Hayward personally researched the Korda fish hook (Figure 8), bought a pack of the same Koorda fish hook, and then compared the grinding, the specific grinding method see the following article:

Note that the coated hook will rust, so dry it after use, then put on a protective case (Figure 9), preferably with a vaseline or hook tip care pen to apply the hook tip to prevent rust.
