Gamakatsu

Gamakatsu Co., Ltd.

The company was founded in Japan in 1955. Initially, it focused on producing high-quality fishing hooks for the local market.

Gamakatsu's philosophy has always been based on technological excellence and uncompromising quality. This quickly led to their hooks becoming a recognized global standard.

Gamakatsu is known for investing significant resources in metallurgy and sharpening processes.

Hooks are their main product that brought them worldwide fame. Gamakatsu hooks are distinguished by their exceptional sharpness, strength, and thin wire diameter for better penetration. They utilize high-quality carbon steel.

The company produces a vast assortment of hooks for all types of fishing—from fly fishing and carp fishing to sea and spinning fishing.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Gamakatsu successfully entered global markets, including North America and Europe, often being considered a premium brand.

In professional fishing, Gamakatsu hooks are frequently called the sharpest in the world. Their quality is so high that many spinning and feeder anglers use them to replace the factory-standard, lower-quality hooks on their lures and rigs.
