YIKA Fishing Hooks

Spearpoint hooks are a type of fish hook design characterized by their sharply tapered point that resembles the tip of a spear. The unique feature of this hook is its symmetrical shape, which allows it to penetrate easily into the fish’s mouth when pressure is applied, making it particularly effective for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.

The term “spearpoint” refers to the fact that the hook point is not offset from the shank, as in many other hook designs. Instead, it runs in line with the hook shank, providing a straight-in penetration that can be advantageous when targeting species with hard mouths or when using baits where a straight, true entry is desired.

Spearpoint hooks come in various sizes and gauges suitable for different types of fish and angling techniques. They’re commonly used in lure fishing, bait fishing, fly tying, and even in some specialized rigging setups like surf fishing or carp fishing.

Their strength and versatility make them a popular choice among anglers who demand reliable hooksets and reduced likelihood of fish escaping due to poor hook penetration.
