Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take the hooks out, and what immediate care is required?

Suspension FAQ
The faster hooks come out the less they hurt. Sometimes the dried blood is removed from around the wounds, although most people don't feel the extraction even with crust still attached. The air should be 'burped' out via massage -- though some people actually prefer to leave the air in. Finally, clean the wound and apply a sterile dressing.

How do I put the hooks in?

Suspension FAQ
Hooks can be sharpened to a point and forced through the skin, although this is unnecessarily painful and traumatic. The most common and practical means of insertion is to first make the hole with a standard piercing needle and follow that through with the hook. Needle and hook are usually in the same size, but that is entirely optional. If a larger needle is used (for example, a 6ga piercing needle followed by an 8ga hook) there will be additional bleeding.

Where are the hooks placed, and is it the same for everyone?

Suspension FAQ
Unfortunately, there is not an exact science to hook placement. It depends a lot on individuals. Generally hooks are placed into regions of the body where the skin is soft and stretches easily. There are some fairly common placement points and normal "sweet" spots on most people. Some of the placements are chest, upper to middle back, hips, calves, knees and forearms. Of these most have sweet spots, although the chest and many points in the legs can still be very uncomfortable.

Where can I buy hooks?

Suspension FAQ
Many people buy their hooks from Seattle Marine, which can be found online at www.seamar.com. Local fishing supply shops can also order the hooks for you. It is of course possible to have a body jewelry supplier custom make hooks to your liking, but most people agree that the heavy gauge fish hooks work best. They are very strong, re-useable, and typically leave a clean hole after the suspension.

Q14 What size hooks and line strength is required to tackle French lakes?

carp fishing holidays in France & Canada
A As I stated above I generally use a heavy pattern hook in a size 4 or sometimes size 2 or 1 on the big rivers and lakes eg. Orient, Cassien, the Seine or the Saone eg: Drennan Continental Boilie hooks or Long shank nailers. I fish 90% of the time with 15lb nylon straight through. My preference being for Berkeley Big Game or Diawa Sensor, but any line from a reputable manufacturer will do the job. This type of set up will suffice for all my fishing up to about 90-100 yards.

What different types of hooks can be used, and when/why?

Suspension FAQ
There are two basic types of hooks, on-locking (standard) and locking. Locking hooks are fairly new and there are several designs out there. The primary purpose for the locking mechanism is to increase the amount of weight a hook can hold (the lock keeps the hook from opening) and to prevent the hooks from coming out (for example, if suspending from great heights). Standard hooks (fishing hooks) are definitely the most commonly used design for suspension.

Are hooks pierced though muscle?

Suspension FAQ
NO! Skin is very resilient, holds a lot of weight and heals very quickly. Muscle on the other hand is a very fragile tissue that tears easily and does not always heal correctly. In addition, if hooks tear out, damage to skin is easy to heal and not particularly dangerous, whereas healing torn muscle is much more significant.

How long can I leave the hooks in for?

Suspension FAQ
This would depend first on the material of the hooks. Most stainless fishhooks are certainly not implant grade stainless, and therefore should be removed after suspending. There are some custom made hooks on the market made from implant grade materials and that are specifically designed for suspension. These hooks could, at least from a materials point of view, be left in for very extended times.

Are hooks placed differently for pulling?

Suspension FAQ
Yes and no; it depends on which type of pulling is to be performed and how many hooks are used in the pulling. For example, if someone is pulling with hooks in their back, the placement would resemble that of a suicide suspension. The hooks must be placed in a direction so that the hook will not come out during the pulling. Normally this is done with either a locking hook, or with hook placed horizontally, or with hook pierced in an upward direction (ie.
