For freshwater fishing:
The strategy of using large fishing rods in freshwater fishing is the wrong choice, because many experienced anglers say that "small hooks can get big fish, but big hooks will have difficulty if they get small fish. You should adjust the size of the fish's mouth with the hook, a good guess is that the largest hook size is half of the mouth of the fish you catch.
For Panfish you can use hook number 4/0 or 6/0 but if the bait is small use hook number 10/0 or 8/0
For trout use hook number 4/0, 6/0 or 8/0
For Sea Bass use the number 1/0 or 2/0
For Northern Pike and Muskies, use fishing line number 3/0 to 1
For fish in Indonesia, with various types of fish, please adjust to the size of the body and the shape of the fish's mouth with a maximum "gap" of the hook half of the size of the fish's mouth.
