Hook size is denoted by a number. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. Size 30 is a tiny hook, 4 is significantly larger. If there’s a zero after, e.g., 2/0, it’s even bigger. The higher the number before the zero, the larger the hook. We have a range from the smallest hook, size 30, to our largest, 18/0.

Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.
Salmon Fishing – The Ultimate Challenge for Anglers
Salmon fishing is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences for any angler. These powerful fish are known for their strength, speed, and impressive acrobatics, making them a prized catch in both rivers and open water. Whether targeting wild salmon in fast-flowing rivers or trolling for large specimens at sea, salmon fishing requires skill, patience, and the right equipment.
Techniques for Salmon Fishing
There are several popular methods for catching salmon, including fly fishing, spin fishing, and trolling. Fly fishing is a favorite among river anglers, using specialized fly rods and artificial flies to imitate natural prey. Spin fishing with spoons, wobblers, or soft plastics is also effective, particularly in areas with strong currents. For those fishing in large lakes or the ocean, trolling with deep-diving lures or baitfish rigs is a proven technique for covering large areas and attracting big salmon.
Essential Gear for Salmon Fishing
A strong, medium to heavy-action rod suited for the fishing method and environment.
A high-quality spinning or baitcasting reel with a smooth drag system to handle long runs.
A braided or monofilament mainline, with a fluorocarbon leader for reduced visibility.
Lures such as spoons, wobblers, and soft plastics for spin fishing, or streamer flies for fly fishing.
A landing net and proper fish-handling tools for safely releasing or securing your catch.
Salmon fishing can be highly seasonal, with peak times depending on migration patterns and water conditions. Early mornings and late evenings are often the most productive times to fish. Patience and persistence are key
