Point of the hook...showing or hidden?

leave it showing

^This for all freshwater

But if you're talking about chunking for tuna or chumming up mangroves, then you better hide the whole hook.

Thanks!

An “old timer” in the office has been arguing that you’re supposed to hide the point every time when freshwater fishing.

well its like this, for perch/brim, they are biting the worm not inhaling the whole thing in most cases so i try to keep the worm covering the hook tip so what they bite can bite back. if not they grab the shank of the hook instead and its pure luck if the hook is pointing where it catches them.

when it comes to catfish or bass they just inhale the whole thing so it doesnt really matter if you are fishing for them whether the hook is covered or not
