Reasons for good fishing

Tosa Keisaku fishing hooks boast a 70% share of the fishing hook market in Japan and are also popular among fishermen from far away overseas.

Why choose Tosa Keisaku fishing? How does it work? We will introduce in detail the hooks of Tosa Keisaku fishing, which are made by hand one by one by artisans and are passed down through the family, and can withstand tuna weighing up to 350 kg.

For a typical fishing hook

When a tuna puts bait in its mouth, the tip of the hook will always be pointing towards the upper jaw (Image 1) or the lower jaw (Image 2).

With a normal fishing hook, it is easier to hook a fish if the tip of the hook is pointing towards the upper jaw (Image 1), but it is harder to hook a fish if the tip of the hook is pointing towards the lower jaw (Image 2).

In the case of Tosa Keisaku's fishing hook

Tosa Keisaku's hooks are designed to make it easy to hook even when the tip is pointing towards the lower jaw, which is usually difficult to hook, and are highly valued as hooks that are likely to increase your catch.
