The invention discloses a method for testing the hook attaching performance of fishing bait. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, measuring the water content and dry basis water content in the bait, then adding the bait and water into a dough mixer for blending, weighing a blended bait ball, filling the blended bait ball into an aluminum box with a cover in which fishhooks are placed, performing pressing and compacting, then opening the cover, taking out the fishhooks wrapped with the bait balls, suspending the three hooks wrapped with the bait balls in a beaker containing clear water, after a period of time, taking the fishhooks out and placing the fishhooks on the weighed filter paper, carefully scrapping off residual bait on the fishhooks, placing the filter paper and the residual bait in an oven to be dried to constant weight, weighing the mass of the filter paper and the mass of the residual bait, and finally calculating the kook attaching performance. The method is simple and easy to operate, the detection result is visual and accurate, and the problems that the judgment of the ook attaching performance of the bait completely depends on experience and intuition and errors are large in the past are solved.
