• The ultimate achievement
in penetration.
• Guaranteed to get more
hookups with less effort
with the patented XPoint
hook design.
• The XPoint is patterned after the famous French fighting
sword, “Epee”. The design maximizes the number of
cutting edges yet minimizes the overall resistance due
to friction to cleanly and rapidly penetrate even the
toughest fish jaw.

Close those eyes!
They are perfect every time.
Precision tooled “true” to the design.
Best Materials
Minimal Brittleness
Made of High Carbon Steel.
This gives each hook superior
strength and a long point life.
Hardened and tempered to an
exact formula.
Pocket Hook
Guide for
USER TRIALS
XPoint has been shown to work particularly well with all
hard mouthed salt water species such as Permit, Tarpon,
Bonefish, Bluefish, Striped Bass as well as fresh water fish
such as Salmon and Steelhead.
Ultra high carbon steel
Low profile 40% barb
Unsurpassed Sharpness
We start with a 12 degree angle
constant tapered ground needle point.
This eliminates irregularities in shape,
assuring no weak spots and gives
amazing speed of penetration. Every
Daiichi hook is also chemically sharpened.We immerse each hook in a
special bath that deburs their points
and makes them “sticky sharp”.
Superb Finishes
We offer multiple quality
finishes that are evenly
and smoothly applied.
Each hook is a work of art.

Our standard barbs have a low profile
design that creates an increase of wire
diameter of only 40%, while our minibarb hooks create only a 20% increase.
Many lost fish and broken points result
from over-sized barbs. Not with Daiichi!
The bend, the gape, the barb,
the eye – all perfect. Time
and again Daiichi hooks will
impress you with their
unblemished quality.
More Serious Anglers use
Daiichi hooks for their patterns.
This handy guide illustrates over
50 patterns of Daiichi fly hooks,
including descriptions, uses and
available sizes. Also illustrated are
the classic styles in the XPoint line
of superior penetrating fly hooks.
