[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]morning lue,[/size][/font]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]I understand about them hook sizes, that is a vary important issue when it comes time to present your offering to the fish.[/size][/font]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]I fully agree on the size you mentioned for the bait you are using also.[/size][/font]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]so as we dont confuse our beginner anglers. Hooks run in sizes by numbers, hooks that are between 1 and 12 rate like this;[/size][/font] [ul] [li][font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]size one being the largest[/size][/font][/li] [li][font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]size twelve being the smallest.[/size][/font][/li][/ul]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]it is not until you get in to the OT sizes that the bigger the number the bigger the hook.[/size][/font]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]meaning if you wanted a large hook you would ask for a #1.0 pronounced as a 1 ot or single ot hook. this hook is about 1 inch from the point to the shank. asking for a 2 ot hook you will really have a big hook on your hands. [/size][/font]
[font "Verdana Ref"][size 2]now I think I will go grab my first cup. [/size][/font]
