I know it is not too hard to confuse me when it comes to the nitty-gritty of angling, but hook sizes are a mystery to me. The meat hooking thread has been talking about hooks being sized the same but being totally different.
I have had this problem with dropshotting hooks and I understood the number related to the distance between the point of the hook and the shaft (the gape?) but how does that work when you have a 'wide gap' size 16 or a normal size 16?
Can someone explain what the sizes actually relate to?
Thanks,
Ralph.
