A FISH HOOK.
The One You Should Buy and the
Test You Should Try.

The One You Should Buy and the
Test You Should Try.
The most common flaw is the temper
of the hook. Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend SO east
ly that they "straighten" on every big
fish, and yet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
fieXes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
Of the line is laid upon them If caught
on tough snag or tree bough. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find them-and the hard breaking
hooks classifies next in merit. Tests by
the eye are quite useless, as SO many
hooks carry exactly the same tints in
blue or black Test the hook instead
by the hand, catching the point in a
firm bit of wood and trying it out both
by the hard firm pull and by the jerk.
Watch particularly in this trial for
weakness at the foot of the barb, where
the wire is apt to be attenuated over
much and the whole point give way
on strong fish, especially if hooked in
bone or very hard gristle. What vastly
depths of angling profanity, in spirit
if not in word, have been stirred in
boat and on bank when the pointless
hook comes away from the hard played
fish must be left to memory.-Outing
