In India, local fishing hooks are commonly made from traditional materials like iron or steel, often handcrafted by artisans in coastal regions. These hooks are designed for various fish species found in Indian waters, such as rohu or catla. To knot a fishing hook, start by threading the line through the eye of the hook. Then, wrap the end of the line around the main line several times to form a loop. Pass the end back through the loop and pull it tight to secure the knot. This method, known as the improved clinch knot, is widely used in Indian fishing practices to ensure the hook stays attached during catches. |
