Hooks Size
Crochet Basic - Crochet hook types and construction
Crochet hooks are typically divided into two primary categories, based on the diameter of the hook shaft. You can find hooks ranging from a fraction of a millimeter in diameter up to hooks larger than your finger. Depending on the size, a hook can be sorted into two primary categories:
- Standard: These hooks are typically used when crocheting with yarn, and they range from 2mm up to 20mm in diameter.
- Steel: These hooks are smaller and generally used when working with crochet thread, size 10 and smaller.
Steel hooks are made of, well, steel. But standard hooks can be made of different materials including aluminum, plastic, and even wood. The following list helps you weigh the pros and cons of each material:
- Aluminum: These hooks are lightweight and smooth, helping you work with the yarn quickly and without catching. Aluminum hooks are some of the easiest to find and are often coated in a spectrum of colors.
- Plastic: These hooks are also lightweight, but they can feel sticky to work with. While inexpensive, some crocheters feel the grippy plastic slows them down.
- Wood: Crochet hooks can be made out of hard woods such as ebony, rosewood, and oak with fine woodworking techniques. These hooks are beautiful to look at, and, when made properly, can be as pleasant to use as your favorite aluminum workhorse. You also can likely find inexpensive bamboo hooks, even in your local megastore. These also have a bit more "grip" than aluminum, but many crafters enjoy how they stay warm in your hands.
For most of your crochet projects, the hook you'll require is generally 5 to 6 inches long and falls into one of the above categories. Don't be surprised to read about — or see in the store — other hook-ended tools, including
- Afghan hooks: These hooks range from 12 to 16 inches in length, with a hook at one end and a knob at the other. These hooks are used for afghan or Tunisian stitches that require you to keep more than one loop on the hook shaft.
- Double ended crochet hooks: Also long like afghan hooks, these tools have a hook at each end. They are used for something called double ended crochet, which makes a thick and reversible fabric.

What bait should I use for Catfish and what size hooks should I use with that bait?
Size #4 circle hooks for smaller catfish or #4 snelled are just as good. Catfish have very large mouths so if you are going for larger catfish 2/0 to 4/0 with live bait such as chubs, minnows or small sunfish is just fine.
for bull heads and channel cats it is hard to beat either night crawlers or chicken livers. Many stink baits or "punch baits" are also very effective.
For Blue cats I have always had my best luck with cut mackerel, but minnows and night crawlers are still good baits.
For large Flathead catfish, sometimes called "yeller cats" in Texas or other southern states, I prefer live bait such as creek chubs large minnows or small bluegills or sunfish. Unless you like to go after them by hand in a method called "noodling." I think people who do this are nuts, but I have seen it done and it does work. However sticking my hand in a hole that may or may not contain a catfish and having it bite me would not be my preferred method.
