History of Gamakatsu
Invention of hooks
20,000 years ago, the invention of the sh hook marked the
beginning of sport shing. e rst 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 articial ies were used in Egypt 4,000
years ago. Fishing was also a popular form of entertainment
in ancient China.

sh hook made, as well as the innovation they bring to the

Quality of hooks
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. e Gamakatsu company, in conjunction with a
material manufacturer, developed a material known as High
Carbon steel specically for the manufacture of sh hooks.
is 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. e life of a sh 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.
