20,000 years ago, people invented fish hooks which marked the beginning of sport fishing. Initially, hooks were made from wood or bones. Over time, they improved with the use of copper hooks in Banchen around 7,000 years ago and the use of artificial flies in Egypt about 4,000 years ago. Fishing was also a popular form of entertainment in ancient China.
Today, we have the advantage of modern materials and manufacturing techniques, resulting in a wide variety of high-quality hooks designed for specific fish and fishing methods. Gamakatsu hooks are considered superior to other brands due to their unique construction methods.
Firstly, Gamakatsu uses only the finest high carbon steel, ensuring that the hooks are free from any metal defects that could weaken them. Secondly, Gamakatsu employs the most advanced tempering system in the world. Each hook is heated to a precise temperature that is ideal for its style and size, then cooled in oil. This process creates hooks that are exceptionally strong yet not brittle. Achieving the delicate balance between strength and flexibility took Gamakatsu many years to perfect.
Lastly, Gamakatsu's sharpening process is state-of-the-art, resulting in hooks with perfectly conical points that are unmatched in sharpness. The addition of the Gamakatsu Superline Worm hook meets the demand for a straight shank worm hook. These hooks are designed to withstand the pressure of a forceful hookset with super braid line, preventing them from opening up and allowing the fish to shake off the hook as can happen with lighter wire hooks.
