Types of fishing hooks and their uses
Bait hooks are designed to hold natural or artificial baits on the hook. They have barbs on the shank to prevent the bait from sliding off. They are good for fishing with worms, minnows, crickets, etc. Bait hooks come in various sizes and shapes to suit different kinds of fish and baits.
Circle hooks are hooks that have a curved point that faces towards the eye. They are designed to hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, reducing the chances of gut hooking and harming the fish. Circle hooks are great for catch and release fishing, as well as for fishing with live or cut baits.
Treble hooks are hooks that have three points and one eye. They are often used on lures, such as crankbaits, spoons, spinners, etc. Treble hooks increase the chances of hooking a fish, but they also cause more damage to the fish and can be harder to remove.

The type of hook you use also affects the line poundage you need. Generally speaking, you want to match the size and strength of your hook to your line. For example, if you use a small hook with a light line, you can cast farther and present your bait more naturally. However, if you use a large hook with a heavy line, you can handle bigger fish and avoid breaking off.
The type of hook you use also impacts the desired catch you want. Different fish have different preferences and behaviors that require different kinds of hooks. For example, if you want to catch bass, you might want to use worm hooks or jig hooks with soft plastic lures. If you want to catch trout, you might want to use bait hooks or treble hooks with worms or spoons. If you want to catch catfish, you might want to use circle hooks or octopus hooks with live or cut baits.

Worm hooks are specially made for fishing with soft plastic worms. They have a wide gap and a sharp point that pierces through the worm easily. They also have an offset shank that helps to keep the worm in place and prevent it from twisting. Worm hooks are ideal for bass fishing in weeds, rocks and timber.
Jig hooks are simple hooks that are attached to a weighted head. They can be used with various kinds of lures, such as jigs, spoons, spinners, etc. Jig hooks are effective for catching fish that feed near the bottom, such as walleye, crappie, perch, etc.
Weedless hooks are hooks that have a guard or a wire that covers the point of the hook. This prevents the hook from snagging on weeds, grass, branches, etc. Weedless hooks are useful for fishing in heavy cover or vegetation, where fish like to hide.
