If you've been fishing for a large share of your life, you very well know by now how much importance a fishing guy would have to give the hooks he'll be using in most, if not all, of his fishing expeditions. But most of these damn newbies think that in buying new hooks, it would provide them a good catch in their fishing ventures, and with a good catch, it would be a damn
good fish treat back at home as well! Misinformation definitely makes dumb-asses quite a whole lot dumber!
You see,
new hooks aren't always sharp. Of course, a sharper hook would definitely catch more of those fish, if not efficiently do just so. But I have this test when it comes to how sharp should a damn hook be, and it has provided me quite a couple more good catches in my fishing ventures. I usually test the sharpness of the hooks I would be using by pricking my thumbnail with it. If it slides off you're thumbnail, chances are you wouldn't be able to get even a couple fishes more in your fishing venture! You see, the sharpness of your hooks is necessary because those fishes aren't as helpless as you think they are. They fight just like any other man would if you threaten him with a sharp knife, and if you stab him, he'll do anything to free himself, wouldn't he?
