Rough Camping & Survival Tips

[observe]

Good theoretical fish hook idea.....

But,,,,
I have tried it without success so far.
'Hook' is too big for a small fish
and
too weak for a bigger fish that took the bait.
Also, the barb is not working as it should.
Anyone of you that had success with this fish hook?
Show us your catch, or explain your set-up so I can see where I make my mistake please

+_ 20 x different pocket knife carvings...

@observe - if that Flip-top-hook is All I have between me and starvation….I’m dead!
Might look good on a paper drawing but very skeptical it would work —- like a wooden “Spear” for Grizzly Bear
