The selection of FUDO is aimed at hooks with barb for float, feeder, light bottom, river and sea fishing. The differences between the series are visible in the shoulder, curve, thickness, coating and the presence of a diving lip. Therefore, the number should not be considered separately from the form: two hooks of close size can hold the bait and stand in the water differently.

FUDO Sode 1200 Nickel hooks are nickel-plated, with a long straight shoulder, straight blade and barb. The variants are №8, №10 and №12, and the chemically sharpened tip is designed for precise penetration. The series can be used in the sea, as well as in fishing for perch or ukli and in swimming. A long shoulder facilitates the arrangement of a longer bait.

FUDO Iseama Gold 1702 hooks have a golden finish, a shovel, a forged structure and a wide rounded curve. The shoulder is medium length and the blade is chemically sharpened. The №6, №8 and №10 sizes allow for choice according to the required proportion. This shape is logical when you prefer a wider curve instead of a straight, elongated profile of the Sode. series

For larger specimens and rig with medium thick hook FUDO Umi Tanago 2600 Nickel hooks are designed for river fishing, float and lighter bottom. The series is available in №15 and №16 and can be used with a variety of bait, including fertilizer worm. Here the larger number should not be compared mechanically to the numbering of another form without regard to actual proportions.

Match the hook first with the bait, then with the thickness of the lead and the load of the rig. The right long shoulder, wide curve and medium thickness lead to different performance, so don't choose solely by the color of the coating. In a diving lip pattern, the coils should be flat, tight and stacked on the shoulder, without the fishing line going through a sharp edge.

Look at the blade as you tie it, not sliding it down the nail with pressure. Check the barb for deformation and interrupt the cause if the fishing line is injured around the diving lip. After a wet outing, dry the unused hooks before returning them to the rest. Keep the different numbers separate and labeled, because mixing them makes it difficult to consistently craft identical leaders.

The choice of float begins with an assessment of the required fit in Float fishing accessories, because the situation of the fishing venue determines the direction of demand. Then review Float fishing hooks for the specific rig and use Hooks as a wider guide when comparing options for another type of fishing.
