Basically, there are two ways you can fix hooks with the hat. These two ways are cap attachment and bill attachment. Let us discuss each of these two attachments separately. 

Bill attachment

It is the easiest and safest way to attach fishing hooks with your baseball cap. As you can see from the design of a baseball cap, the bill section is away from your head. So, there is no chance that your head will get injured when you attach fishing hooks with the bill part of the cap. Moreover, the bill section of the cap is visible to other anglers or fishermen. So, they will see clearly that you have a few spare hooks attached to the cap.

Attaching the fishing hook on the protruding part of the cap that is the bill section ensures that hook will not block your line of vision while you are fishing.

Cap attachment

Another part of a baseball cap where you can attach your fishing hook is the panel part of the cap. However, fixing hooks here is not a safe practice since your head might get injured. However, if you still prefer this place, below we have described a safe way to attach fish hooks with the panel of the baseball cap.

Take the fish hook, adhere to the sharp end of the hook with the fabric of the cap and then push downward. While the sharp end of the hook is stuck in the fabric, rotate the hook in anti-clockwise motion and then push the hook again. This double-entry of the fishing hook ensures that the sharp end of the hook is safely secured.

To make it happen, a matching is required between the design of the cap or hat and the fishing hook. However, there is no definitive guide regarding how to find a match.
