In 1988, Dohitomi & Co. achieved a significant breakthrough by introducing an innovative hook manufacturing process. This pioneering method allowed for the creation of hooks that were not only stronger but also featured a thinner diameter. This relentless commitment to innovation and forward-thinking has propelled the company to become a top-tier player in the fishing hook industry.
Under the renowned brand name Maruto and armed with over a century of expertise and dedication to quality production, Dohitomi has asserted itself as the undisputed leader in hooks for professional anglers worldwide.
Crafted from the finest virgin-carbon steel to ensure top-notch quality, the Maruto hook boasts a meticulously precise laser-cut hook point. It undergoes a rigorous heating and tempering process, supplemented by chemical baths, to achieve unparalleled strength. This meticulous treatment and forging process result in an exceptionally robust hook point, guaranteeing superior performance.
The Maruto SSC Needlepoint stands head and shoulders above traditional hooks with its needle-tip design and razor-sharp cutting edge, allowing it to penetrate with minimal resistance. Each forged hook arrives supremely sharp right out of the package. It's worth noting that filing the point should be avoided, as it can compromise the hook's strength and sharpness. Rest assured, the Maruto hook delivers strength, sharpness, and functionality that significantly enhance your angling success—empowering you to catch more fish.
