Hook Producing
The methods used in creating Gamakatsu hooks is what makes
them 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.
