Add Metric To Your Fishing

I have some hooks that I prefer, and sometimes I can't find them due to company changes in their style "updates."

Take the old hook and measure the gap in millimeters.  Go to your favorite retail fishing department and measure gaps in said millimeters.   That will be the most accurate way of doing it.  Hey, everything is coming from metric machines these days.  I even discovered that even my shoes are metric at REI.

Recently, I found that it is better to put on those wool socks I wear then measure both feet.  Guess what?  I bought that suckers that way and it accounts for why those summer socks are causing my fit to change.

When you get older the simple things in life get more important, like shoes that fit.

Well, I got off the topic a little, but the point is metric is more accurate because the increments are smaller than our standard measure in inches and such.
