BKK Hooks are designed in Japan and manufactured to exacting standards in China. They are known for making very strong, sharp, long lasting hooks that meet specific fishing needs. They were tested by our various Holoholo reviewers. Here’s how they performed.
Red Octopus Beak
Tested as damashi/sabiki fly hooks for akule and opelu.
Product Description: The offset hook point provides much more contact with the fish’s mouth, resulting in a better hook-up rate.
Additionally, the red coating increases the concealment of the hook (matching the color of the bait used) and also guarantees great saltwater corrosion resistance.
Results: Akule and opelu flies were made with these. They kept their point and didn’t rust after 5 uses. Recommended.
Silent Chaser EWG Round Head
Tested as jig hook for oio whipping on the flats.
Product Description: The BKK Silent Chaser 1X EWG is a versatile round-head offset jighead featuring a wire jig hook with an Extra Wide Gap round bend, super sharp needle point and SS nano coating to enhance penetration when fishing with very light gear.
Predominantly used in finesse approaches close to the bottom, the Silent Chaser 1X EWG is designed for stealthier presentations and to be snag proof. Size range goes from size 1 to 4/0 for Texas rigging a wide array of soft lures.
Results: Multiple large oio were landed whereas other premium brand jig hooks bent open. Recommended.
Beastly Cat
Tested as rear live bait hook for offshore fishing.
Product Description: Designed with a thick wire, it features BKK’s signature Hand Ground hook point technology boasting an excellent penetration capability, being able to penetrate through hard bony jaws and reducing the overall weight of the hook structure.
The Super-Slide coating additionally minimizes piercing resistance and provides an instant and deep hook up.
Results: Used as an offshore live bait hook. More positive hooksets than other hooks used but corroded and lost its point after 1 use. Not recommended.
Raptor Z treble hooks
Tested as replacement hooks for plugs and poppers.
Product Description: The BKK-RAPTOR-Z incorporates BKK’s latest manufacturing technologies, being engineered to hook strong and aggressive “monster” fish and stay hooked to the very end.
Thanks to BKK’s Hand ground technology and Bright Tin coating, it is equipped with ultimate impaling power, being able to penetrate even the hardest bony jaws and superior corrosion resistance.
BKK’s Slim Ring Technology further allows for an easier attachment of split rings.
Results: Multiple ulua have been landed on these. The treble hooks don’t open up under intense pressure. Recommended.
Sea Ranger+ assist hooks
Tested as assist hooks on micro jigs.
Product Description: Developed to tackle big fish using a small jig.
Comes pre-tied with BKK high quality solid core assist cord, which is very robust yet retains its softness. Shimmering and glowing fibers increase the attractiveness of the jig, triggering more strikes.
It features a heavy gauge providing excellent strength to the hook and BKK’s Hand Ground hook point technology lightening the weight of the hook, providing an outstanding penetration performance. Additionally, the U-spade Slip Lock feature keeps the assist line securely in place.
Last but not least, the bright tin coating ensures sharp hooks in saltwater environment, preventing saltwater corrosion.
Results: Glow tinsel attracted small and large fish; hooks stayed sharp and corrosion free after countless uses. Never tangled on the jig. Recommended.
