OUR 22 YEARS OF RESEARCH PROVE:

• Fish naturally strike blood/injury.

• Bleeding bait stimulates the gill flash, feeding signal.

• Earth friendly finish, wears during use.

• Extra sharp points lead to much more hook-ups.

THE BARB

Besides the point, the other factor of sharpness (the ability to penetrate) concerns the barb. The Daiichi hooks have two

types of low profile barbs, allowing for faster penetration. Minibarb - the standard Daiichi barb - cuts into 40% of the

hooks’ wire diameter. Microbarb provides the ultimate combination of sharpness and holding power, cutting into only

20% of the wire.

CARBON CONTENT

Rated at 80, Daiichi hooks hammer competitors in their carbon content. This translates to harder steel and sharper points.

TEMPERING

Carefully flex the hook gap a little. This combination of strength while maintaining flexibility separates the top quality

hooks from the others! Daiichi takes longer to temper their hooks, but as you can feel, it’s worth it.

FORGING

Did the hook you flexed have flattened edges in the hook bend? That’s forging. The forging process adds almost 20% in

strength to the wire. If you flexed a forged hook, you probably didn’t move it too far. The Daiichi forging adds strength,

but keeps your hook as fine as possible for sharpness and livelier bait action.

Here are some photographs of “brand name” hook points taken by an electron microscope.

Things get ugly at 350 power – Daiichi remains beautiful!!!
