Black Magix DX Point Hooks

From time to time you hear about a fishing tackle product that’s supposed to be a real “game changer”. Some live up to the billing, some don’t, but Black Magic’s new DX Point hook is all that and more. And why not? They’ve been developing high quality hooks in their Japanese factories for over 25 years, so the introduction of what they call their “super” hook is no real surprise. 

Like all the hooks in their range, it is still crafted from high carbon steel for extra strength and it goes through the chemical sharpening process. What really stands it apart though is the point and the coating. 

The DX Point is engineered with 4 micro cutting edges. Apart from strengthening the point these edges allow it to cut through the toughest jawbones with ease. It is offset but it also has a slight curve back towards the shaft and although it’s not a circle hook, it was amazing how many fish were caught in the corner of the mouth during testing. It’s extremely sharp. You hook more and you catch more. 

The coat is what’s known as PTFE technology – think non-stick fry pans and utensils. You can feel the slippery surface. It not only allows easier penetration, but it also greatly reduces rust and prolongs the life of the hook. Again, during field testing, it was evident that hooks could be fished a lot longer before they had to be changed…very economical. 

The hooks range from 1/0 through to 6/0 and are available in either Black Magic’s small or economy packs. Try them. You will be impressed with their performance.
