⚙️ Did you know? In 1963, Gamakatsu introduced one of the first automated heating facilities in Japan, revolutionising the way fishing hooks were made.

Before this breakthrough, every hook was painstakingly made by hand, but this new process meant greater consistency, strength, and sharpness in every single hook.

That leap in technology catapulted us from a small workshop to the forefront of the Japanese hook market, and the standards set back then still define hook quality worldwide today.

🪝 From handmade beginnings to global leader.
