Fish Hooks, General description; Oxford: a piece of metal or other material, curved or bent back at an angle, for catching hold of fish.
History, Fish hooks or similar devices have probably been around man
for many thousands of years. The earliest recorded fish hooks were from
Palestine about 9000 years ago.
Man has crafted fish hooks from all sorts of materials to include wood,
animal and human bone, horn, shells, stone, bronze, iron up to present
day materials. In many cases, hooks were created from multiple
materials to leverage the strength and positive characteristics of each
material. Quality steel hooks began to make their appearance in Europe
in the 1600s and hook making soon became a task for professionals.
Present hook designs and sizes are vast. With many manufactures using
new alloy metals, corrosion resistance finishes, as well special
chemical hardening and sharpening processes. Assorted modern hook syles.
