The invention of the fish hook 20,000 years ago marked the beginning of sport fishing. Initially made of wood or bones, hooks gradually improved with technological advancements. Around 7,000 years ago, copper hooks were produced in Banchen, and artificial flies were used in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Fishing was also a popular form of entertainment in ancient China. Today, thanks to modern materials and manufacturing techniques, there are hundreds of high-quality hook styles designed for specific types of fish and fishing methods.
Gamakatsu hooks stand out from other brands due to their superior construction methods. They use only the highest grade of high carbon steel to avoid any weak spots in the metal. Additionally, Gamakatsu employs the most advanced tempering system, heating each hook to the precise temperature suitable for its style and size and then cooling it in oil. This process creates hooks that are incredibly strong yet not brittle. Achieving the right balance between strength and flexibility required years of refinement.
Lastly, Gamakatsu's sharpening process is the most modern in the world, resulting in perfectly conical, exceptionally sharp points. The Oversize G-Mag Worm Hook by Gamakatsu is specifically designed for rigging magnum-sized tubes, worms, and swimbaits. It serves as the standard hook for all Mission Fish swimbaits.
