Around 20,000 years ago, the invention of fish hooks marked the beginning of sport fishing. The initial hooks were made of wood or bones, but advancements in technology led to the use of copper hooks in Banchen 7,000 years ago and artificial flies in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Fishing was also a popular form of entertainment in ancient China. Nowadays, advanced materials and manufacturing techniques have produced hundreds of hook styles of extremely high quality, specifically designed for various types of fish and fishing methods.
Gamakatsu hooks are widely regarded as being superior to other brands, and the methods used to create them are why. First, only the highest-grade high carbon steel is used to ensure that there are no blemishes in the metal that can weaken the hook. Second, Gamakatsu has the most advanced tempering technique in the world. Each hook is heated to a temperature that is perfect for that specific style and size, then cooled in oil. This process creates hooks that are very sturdy without being brittle. It took many years for Gamakatsu to achieve a balance between strength and flexibility, and their modern sharpening process is the third reason for their success. The result is a perfectly conical point that is unmatched in sharpness.
The Gamakatsu Octopus Hook, one of their most versatile hooks, has long been renowned for its durability and strength. Octopus hooks come in a range of sizes, colors, and finishes – such as fluorescent finishes.
