limeyangler Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi all, Wanting to get some of these. Anyone know what sizes the hooks in this link below are…..is the 3 the smallest or the 8? I assume these are USA sizes and are those the same as canadian? http://www.basspro.com/Offshore-Angler-Green-Ultraskin-Sabiki-Rigs-with-Fluorocarbon-Leader/product/53204/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT thanks in advance.

gaspumper Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 The bigger the number the smaller the hook = a #10 hook is smaller then a #8 hook.A #1/0 hook is smaller then a #4/0 hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyangler Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ok…thats why i'm confused. The guy at Basspro said the opposite for the item i posted a link to….and a size 3 hook by your suggestion would be huge for a sabiki lure.

Fishnwire Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hook sizes are the same as cable gauge. The larger the number, the smaller the size/gauge...up to zero. Then it goes 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, etc. The actual size of hooks is not standard across the industry. One company's #2 might be the same physical size as another company's #1 or #3...or whatever.

manitoubass2 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) No prob. A slow day around the house here so glad to help out... LOL!lol. Im horribly dyslexic so even though most would find this simple, its a real mindf**** for me haha. I go through the same thing this time every year when ordering components to build harnesses etc. in the winter. Now that i think of it, i dont know why i wouldnt just keep my receipt when i get my order, lol, since its practically the same stuff every year.

When I try to tie a #14,Im well you know,Im ****.LOL Always thought the lower # was the bigger. Edited November 25, 2013 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
