Matzuo America’s Sickle ® Hook design is a result of precise<br />
engineering and on-the-water testing.<br />
STReNGTH BeND<br />
Ordinary <strong>hooks</strong> have a constant curve shaped like the letter “u.”<br />
under strain, this curve straightens out much more easily than<br />
the Sickle ® Hook’s “Strength Bend.” Consequently, the Sickle ®<br />
Hook can be made from a finer wire, yet still remain as strong<br />
or stronger than common <strong>hooks</strong>. This allows faster penetration<br />
when setting the hook.<br />
ANGLe BeND<br />
The acute “Angle Bend” below the hook point holds a fighting<br />
fish more firmly than regular <strong>hooks</strong>, vastly reducing the<br />
incidence of fish loss caused by the frantic struggle of gamefish.<br />
Sickle ® Hooks are available in a multitude of styles depending<br />
on your angling needs. The Sickle ® Hook is another example of<br />
Matzuo ® ’s innovation and commitment to provide anglers with<br />
technically advanced tackle of the finest quality.<br />
