Size, and whether it arrives already tied

The best fishing hooks for 2026

A hook is sized on a scale that runs the wrong way, and that is the first thing to learn on this shelf: size 12 is smaller than size 8, which is smaller than size 2, and past size 1 the scale flips to 1/0, 2/0 and up. The corpus uses it constantly — Gr. 8 and Gr. 12 on the Angel-Berger tied hooks at 3,49 €, « #10/#8/#6/#4/#2 » in the Paradox Fishing 100-piece at 9,99 €, ten sizes in the Jinlaili 100-piece at 6,99 € and the THKFISH 500-piece at 12,99 €. The size is set by the BAIT, not by the fish: a size 12 carries one maggot, a 2/0 carries a whole boilie. The second division is the one that decides who a listing is for. An eyed hook, sold loose in a box, is tied by you. A tied hook — « gebundene Haken », « Vorfachhaken » on the Angel-Berger, the JENZI trout hooks on 60 cm of mono at 8,89 €, the JENZI maggot hooks at 8,99 € — arrives on a short length of line with a loop, ready to clip on. The titles give the line diameter with it: Gr. 8 on 0,20 mm, Gr. 12 on 0,16 mm, and that pairing is exactly the one a beginner gets wrong. The pattern is the third thing, and it is named rather than numbered: an « Oktopus » or circle hook on the 9KM DWLIFE 50-pack at 5,99 € hooks in the corner of the mouth and is meant for release, a « Dropshot » hook on the ABOHU 500-piece at 7,49 € stands out from the line, an « Offset » hook hides its point in a soft body. The steel is stated in almost every cheap listing — « Kohlenstoffstahl », high-carbon steel — and it is about how long the point stays a point, which is why the ABOHU set includes a hook sharpener. We compare size, pattern, eyed or tied, line diameter on tied hooks, steel and coating, barbed or barbless, and pieces per box.
