Sport fishing traces its roots back to 20,000 years ago when the very first fish hook was invented. Initially, these hooks were made from wood or bones. Over time, as technology advanced, so did the materials used for making hooks. Historical records suggest that 7,000 years ago, copper hooks were crafted in Banchen, while artificial flies were being used in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Fishing also gained popularity as a form of entertainment in ancient China.
In present times, thanks to modern materials and manufacturing techniques, there exists a wide range of hook styles available, all of exceptional quality and designed for specific fish species and fishing methods. However, what sets Gamakatsu hooks apart from the rest is their unique manufacturing process.
To begin with, Gamakatsu only uses the highest quality premium grade high carbon steel. This ensures that the hooks are free from any defects that may weaken them. What makes Gamakatsu truly exceptional is their advanced tempering system, which is considered the best in the world. Each hook is heated to the precise temperature required for its specific style and size, and then rapidly cooled using oil. This meticulous process results in hooks that are incredibly strong, without becoming brittle. Achieving this delicate balance between strength and flexibility took Gamakatsu a significant amount of time to perfect.
Lastly, the sharpening process employed by Gamakatsu is the most cutting-edge in the industry, leading to hooks with perfectly conical points that are unmatched in sharpness. These hooks are truly a testament to Gamakatsu's commitment to excellence.
One of the standout products from Gamakatsu is their Oversize G-Mag Worm Hook. This hook is specifically designed for rigging magnum-sized tubes, worms, and swim baits. Notably, it is the standard hook used on all Mission Fish swim baits.
