Freshwater Fishing Tackle * | Gamakatsu Worm Hooks Bronze

20,000 Years Ago, The Invention Of The Fish Hook Marked The Beginning Of Sport Fishing. The First Hooks Were Made Of Wood Or Bones. As Technology Improved, So Did The Hooks. Records Show That Copper Hooks Were Made In Banchen 7,000 Years Ago And Artificial Flies Were Used In Egypt 4,000 Years Ago. Fishing Was Also A Popular Form Of Entertainment In Ancient China. Today, Modern Materials And Manufacturing Techniques Have Resulted In Hundreds Of Styles Of Extremely High Quality Hooks, Designed For Specific Types Of Fish And Fishing Methods.

The Methods Used In Creating Gamakatsu Hooks Is What Makes It So Superior To All Other Brands. First, Only The Most Premium Grade Of High Carbon Steel Is Used. This Insures Against Any Blemishes In The Metal Which Can Weaken The Hook.

Secondly, Gamakatsu Has The Most Advanced Tempering System In The World. Every Hook Is Heated To The Exact Temperature That Is Perfect For That Particular Style And Size Then Cooled In Oil. This Process Produces Hooks Which Are Super Strong, But Not Brittle. It Is Extremely Difficult To Achieve A Balance Between Strength And Flexibility, And It Took Many Years For Gamakatsu To Perfect This Process.

Finally, And Perhaps Most Importantly, Our Sharpening Process Is The Most Modern In The World, And Results In A Perfectly Conical Point That Is Unequaled In Sharpness. The Need For A Straight Shank Worm Hook Has Now Been Met With The Addition Of The Gamakatsu Superline Worm Hook. These Hooks Will Stand The Pressure Of A Hard Hookset With Super Braid Line And They Won’T Open Up To Let The Fish Shake The Hook Like Lighter Wire Hooks Can.</P
