Snoods is produced in different dimensions based on adaptation to various hook sizes and needs. The supply is mainly made of polyester and mounted on the hook. The most common is the EC hook, available in the following sizes: 11/0, 12/0, 13/0, 14/0 and 15/0.
Fiskevegn works closely with the best commercial hook manufacturers in the world to bring the best possible hooks to the line market.
Production of commercial hook for line fishing of good quality is demanding, only a handful of suppliers are able to cost-effectively meet the strict requirements of line fishermen and automatic line systems. Fast hooking and hauling in rough conditions require a stable and steady hook.
Salt water and physical wear cause corrosion challenges. The protective coating against corrosion affects the sharpness of the hook and costs. Hooks that are too brittle have a tendency to lose the bait and/or break the tip. Hooks that are too soft straighten during use and require a lot of maintenance. Investigations have shown that a significant proportion of fish that attack the bait are not caught. The hook sharpness must be the best possible.
The fishermen expect that all these, as well as several other properties, will be optimised, while keeping the costs as low as possible. No wonder few producers take up the challenge. Fiskevegn works closely with the best commercial hook manufacturers in the world to bring the best possible hooks to the line market. By drawing on our contact with professional fishermen all over the world, we are in contact with producers to keep the hooks in development.
