The barb is the projection that extends backwards from the point; this secures the fish from getting away. The eye is the end of the hook that is connected to the fishing line or lure. The bend and shank is the segment of the hook that brings the point and the eye together. The gap is the distance between the shank and the point; these five points are how hooks are described to people buying them.
