"Hi, my name's Charlie Labarda. I'm here with Expert Village. I'm here to show you how to fish trout in the lake and ponds. Now, this time we're going to talk about hooks, what kind of hook you should be using. For fishing for trout you must use light tackle. I use a four pound test line, small reel, small fishing pole, and small tiny, little hooks. You notice I've got five different types of hooks here. And, today I was using this number eighteen treble hook; that's just right for trout. This next up here is good for cat fish. This single hook is good for trout and medium fish. You notice how the hook gets bigger, these are hooks for bigger fish, like largemouth bass- this would be good, or ocean fish- this would be good. So, this is the different type of fish that is available. There are many, many types of hooks for fishing. So, really inquire about what type of hook you should use for type of fishing."
