The Aki hook with a heavy duty forged shank and Cutting Point®, performs as both a saltwater bait hook and a fly hook to tie streamer patterns for blue water game fish. Features a straight eye (for more efficient in-line hook sets) and black chrome finish. Cutting Point hooks, developed by the Owner Hook company of Japan, are a revolutionary breakthrough in high technology hook design. Unique to each Owner Cutting Point hook is the triple-edged cutting blade led by a needle-sharp point that never needs sharpening. The point grabs quickly, and as it begins to penetrate, the three cutting edges slice their way through the toughest scales, cartilage and even jaw bones for a positive, effortless hook set.
