What is a "beaked" hook?

Where the tip points slightly back toward the shank.

I can think of a whole bunch of timers I wish I'd set the hook a second
time but didn't.

I can't think of one. Don't make the mistake of assuming just because you
lost a fish, setting the hook an extra time or two might have helped. In
most cases, it wouldn't have mattered one way or another, and in some cases
it's more likely to rip the hook free or increase the size of the hole in
the lip than it is to bury a hook that's not set past the barb.
