Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hook size chart?

A size chart that contains a list of all fish ranks which can be caught for each hook size.

What are the typical hook sizes?

Hook sizes range from 10 (smallest size) to 4/0 (largest size).

What are the typical fish ranks?

Fish species in Call of the Wild The Angler are split into 5 ranks: πŸ‘ΆJuvenile, πŸ₯‰Bronze, πŸ₯ˆSilver, πŸ₯‡Gold and πŸ’ŽDiamond.

Can I catch fish of specific rank only with the specified hook sizes in the chart?

No. Fish of higher ranks can be caught with smaller hooks, not just the ones specified in the hook size chart chart.

What is the hook size chart useful for?

The Hook Size Chart is helpful for when you only want to catch certain sizes (ranks) of fish and above.

Some species like the Signal Crayfish show all ranks at all hook sizes. Is this correct?

As of version 1.8.1 of the game, the Signal Crayfish was introduced as a fish species in the game. The Crayfish doesn’t “bite” the hook, so the size doesn’t matter. A Crayfish will grab any lure with it’s claws.

Can I catch large fish with smaller hooks?

Yes, you can always catch a larger fish with a smaller hook size.
