HOOKSMatzuo America’s Sickle ® Hook design is a result of preciseengineering and on-the-water testing.STRENGTH BENDOrdinary hooks have a constant curve shaped like the letter “U.”Under strain, this curve straightens out much more easily thanthe Sickle ® Hook’s “Strength Bend.” Consequently, the Sickle ®Hook can be made from a finer wire, yet still remain as strongor stronger than common hooks. This allows faster penetrationwhen setting the hook.Angle BENDThe acute “Angle Bend” below the hook point holds a fightingfish more firmly than regular hooks, vastly reducing theincidence of fish loss caused by the frantic struggle of gamefish.Sickle ® Hooks are available in a multitude of styles dependingon your angling needs. The Sickle ® Hook is another example ofMatzuo ® ’s innovation and commitment to provide anglers withtechnically advanced tackle of the finest quality.35
