Hook Fishing

Hook fishing is a traditional angling method widely practiced in India\“s coastal regions and inland water bodies. This technique involves using various types of hooks attached to fishing lines to catch fish.

In India, local manufacturers produce specialized fishing hooks designed for different fish species found in Indian waters. These hooks are made from durable materials like carbon steel and are available in various sizes to accommodate both small freshwater fish and larger marine species.

Traditional Indian hook fishing often uses natural baits such as worms, small fish, or locally available insects. The hooks are typically attached to handlines or simple fishing rods, making this method accessible to fishermen across different economic backgrounds.

Many Indian fishing communities have developed unique hook designs and fishing techniques passed down through generations. These traditional methods are particularly important for subsistence fishermen who rely on hook fishing for their daily livelihood.
