Hook sizes fishing

Hooks are available in different sizes. The size of these hooks often causes confusion among anglers. As a layman it is almost impossible to estimate which hook size you need. Hook sizes work as follows: the larger the number of the hook size, the smaller the hook. So, a hook size 22 is very small, while a hook size 4 is reasonably large. This continues until hook size 1, which is a fairly large hook. If even larger hook sizes are involved, these are designated as 1/0, a little larger is 2/0, a little larger again is 3/0, and so on.  A clear division is for example as follows, where we look at hook sizes from small to large: 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 ,8 ,6 ,4 ,2 ,1 , 1/0, 2/0, 3/0.
