Collection: Fishing Hooks & Rigs

Hooks and rigs are where lure fishing is actually decided — you can pick the right lure and still lose the fish to the wrong hook shape, an opened split ring, or a leader that snapped on the first run. This is the unglamorous half of the tackle box: assist hooks, stinger rigs, wide-gap swimbait hooks, treble and lead-sinker rigs, luminous squid hooks, wire trace leaders and spinner blades.

Hook style has to suit how the fish takes the lure; hook size has to match the bait. The guide below the grid covers both — plus how to rig a stinger properly.
