Can a fish hook be too sharp? Berkley introduces the Fusion19 lineup for 2016, and are said to be the sharpest hooks on the market.
5000 years ago the first bent metal hook was introduced in Egypt by perhaps the caveman's descendant. 2000 years later the first barbed hook was used. In 2016, Berkley introduces the fastest hook-setting hooks on the market. What will be next?
Bass anglers understand the importance of shark hooks, though most don't practice their hook sharpening skills often enough. The new Berkley Fusion19 hooks give novice and avid anglers the sharpest hooks that stay sharper longer than any other on the market.
These needle-point hooks are designed to withstand the toughest, thickest cover without damaging structural integrity. The traditionally rich Japanese philosophy of making superior swords and knives combined with a technologically-advanced polymer coating called Slickset gives anglers the ultimate advantage.
