Size Comparison
- Comparison of various hook sizes placed in palm

Scale-Breaker Blade Point vs. Regular Round Point
- Summary: Regular round point is suitable for normal fishing to pierce fish mouth effortlessly. Choose the scale-breaker blade point for foul hooking or fish with tough scales for easier penetration.
- Scale-Breaker Blade Point: Thinner tip profile with ground edge to significantly increase sharpness and cutting capability, reducing penetration resistance and easily piercing scales.
- Regular Round Point: Thicker tip with a wider angle and lower sharpness, making it difficult to penetrate hard scales, leading to higher unhooking rates.

Hand-Ground Hook Point for Easy Penetration
- Hand-polished point with a razor-thin cutting edge significantly reduces penetration resistance.

Flattened Hook Shank with Significantly Increased Pull Rating
- The entire hook series uses a flat-forging process to enhance longitudinal pull strength and reduce bending or deformation.

Rounded Hook Shank
- Smooth, rounded hook shank with no burrs
- Medium shank thickness prevents bending/snapping while protecting the leader line from damage
