All hooks have a shank end and a barbed end the shank end is used to tie the hook to the line, and the barbed end it needed to keep the fish hooked so it cannot get away. There are three different types of hooks: the spade-end, the eyed, and the snelled (comes with a piece of a nylon line already pre-attached).

There are several ways to do so: still fishing, fly fishing, spinning, bow and arrow fishing, ice fishing and trolling. Still fishing is the oldest and the most popular method of fishing.
