GAMAKATSU HOOKS are the corner stone of the Gamakatsu company, and are famous
worldwide. Material and technology are what makes these hooks superior
to all other brands. The Gamakatsu company, in conjunction
with a material manufacturer, developed a material known as High Carbon
steel specifically for the manufacture of fish hooks. This material not
only contains a higher percentage of carbon, but also has very few
impurities. As a result, GAMAKATSU has earned Anglers' trust throughout
the world.
The life of a fish hook is measured by the sharpness, hardness, and
viscosity of the point. Using low quality materials results in points
that are weak and not truly sharp. In order to use High Carbon steel,
Gamakatsu developed a unique electronic tempering process which enables
hooks to be tempered in a stable condition. As a result, Gamakatsu is
able to manufacture consistently high quality, extremely sharp hooks in
large quantities. This innovation has earned Gamakatsu a 70 % market
share in Japan. Fishing Discount direct is proud to be a large distributor of Gamakatsu Fishing Hooks and continues to add several new lines of Hooks every season. Click on the images below to pick your favorite Gamakatsu Hook and enjoy the craftsman ship of these hooks.
