Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the in-line, non-offset hook point?
A: The in-line, non-offset hook point is designed to ensure increased hook-up ratios and decrease injury to fish during catch-and-release fishing. It improves the hook's ability to set itself in the corner of the fish's mouth, increasing the chances of a successful hook-up.
Q: Why is the hook angled at 90° to the shank?
A: Angling the hook at 90° to the shank allows for a more natural presentation of larger baits, making it highly effective when targeting big gamefish. This angle ensures that the bait is presented in a way that is enticing to the fish, increasing the chances of a bite.
Q: How does the forged hangnail point enhance durability?
A: The forged hangnail point is a specially designed point that is reshaped and sharpened to be incredibly durable. This allows the hook to maintain its sharpness even after repeated use and encounters with tough-skinned fish. It ensures that the hook remains effective for a longer period of time.
Q: Will the black chrome finish hold up in saltwater environments?
A: Yes, the black chrome finish on the hook is corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for use in demanding saltwater environments. It provides an extra layer of protection, preventing rust and maintaining the hook's performance even when exposed to saltwater for extended periods of time.
