Daiichi Fly hooks are the finest in the world. Here's why: * They are made of the finest high carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered to an exacting formula that makes for a long point life and a very strong hook. * Daiichi hooks use a 12-degree constant taper ground needle point. This eliminates irregularities in shape, assuring no weak spots, & gives amazing speed of penetration. * We also chemically sharpen our hooks in a special bath that deburs their points. * Each hook is precision tooled "true" to the exact design of the eye, bend, gape & barb. * Our barbs are an advanced "low profile" design that results in minimal weakness and less broken hooks and lost fish.
