small hooks?

Question: I was wondering what is the smallest hook size made

Answer: The smallest commercially available hook for fishing is a size 32. The size breakdown from smallest to largest looks like this:32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0, 6/0, 7/0, 8/0, 9/0, 10/0, 11/0, 12/0, 13/0, 14/0, 15/0, 16/0, 17/0, 18/0, 19/0, 20/0 and 24/0 (great white shark size). There is no world or industry standard method of measuring hooks, but here in the US, the measures go from the smallest size 32 which is barely large enough to hold between two fingers. Added* Thanks Airflo, no need to apolgize and I stand corrected. When you've been fishing for closer to 50 years you forget a thing or two once in a while. Someday you will too.
