Abstract:

The preferred embodiment of the disclosed fishing hook utilizes a self reinforced polymer, Tecamax Self Reinforced Polymer (SRP), to form the hook. In addition, the hook has a nanocomposite coating, utilizing Nanobyk 3600 or Nanobyk 3601 as the nanocomposite additive, that increases the rigidity and scratch resistance of the hook. The hook may also utilize Bykoplast-1000 for pigmentation to produce color variations. The eyelet located opposite the barbed end of the hook is rotated ninety (90) degrees from conventional hooks so it lays flush with a surface when the hook is placed flush on the surface. The hook also has additional build-up in certain strategic locations along the hook, including near the eyelet end of the hook, near the barbed end of the hook and at the beginning of the curve of the hook for added strength and also contains additional smaller barbs along the length of the hook.
