The swing bullet jig comes with a 1/0  Gamakatsu hook and 3 ounces to choose from, 1/16, 3/16 and 1/4oz, Gamakatsu started producing fish hooks in 1955. At that time, they were the smallest hook manufacturer in Japan, and their hooks were made by hand. In 1963 they introduced a new automated heating facility which catapulted them to the forefront of the Japanese market. This new technology allowed Gamakatsu to make better hooks more quickly, giving them a competitive advantage in the Japanese market. In 1974 they introduced fully automated hook making machines, creating a necessity to build a second factory in order to meet the demand they had created. By 1976, 
Gamakatsu utilizes a unique tempering process allowing them to make a hook of superior strength and durability. The use of high carbon steel provided Gamakatsu hooks with high strength with a smaller wire, making their hooks desirable for all anglers. Sharpness is one of the most important factors in hook performance and Gamakatsu designed a superior conically needle honed point that are always sharp. Gamakatsu introduced colored hooks to match any lure or bait. Finally, Gamakatsu conducts continuous research to develop newdd styles of hooks to land more fish. A top example of style innovation is the extra wide gap (EWG) that hooks and holds fish better.In 1992, the Gamakatsu brand entered America with the establishment of Gamakatsu USA Inc. in Tacoma, Washington to distribute Gamakatsu branded hooks to the U.S. market.
