Hooks for catching roach

Japanese company Owner has a solid history and has been producing a variety of fishing products for more than 40 years.

The products of this manufacturer appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but the brand is already very recognizable and firmly occupies a leading position in its segment, despite the fairly high cost of its products.

This is due to its quality and reliability; these qualities are consistently maintained at a high level and have been tested by a large number of fishermen. The Owner company's assortment has constantly expanded, among which you can find different types of fishing lines, artificial types of bait and other fishing devices.

However, the main calling card of this manufacturer is high-quality hooks, which are in demand all over the world and are familiar even to novice anglers.

These devices have a rather complex classification and many different features, the main ones will be discussed in more detail in this article.

The site also has articles about various types of spinners, for example, Blue Fox spinners.

Manufacturing technology and materials of Owner hooks

There are many different models of hooks from the Owner company, they differ in operating parameters, but without exception they are all made from high-strength and high-quality steel.

This diversity is due to the fact that this manufacturer aims to abandon the unification of such devices and produce highly specialized hooks that will be suitable for certain fishing styles or different types of prey.

To improve the efficiency of the produced gear, the manufacturer began to cooperate with a research center that specializes in studying the characteristics of various fish.

Thanks to this, Owner company specialists have an understanding of the anatomical features of the mouth of individual breeds and their behavior during the feeding process; such information is successfully introduced into the process of making hooks.

Because of this, it can be quite difficult for an unprepared person to navigate the wide range of devices produced, but it is enough to just understand the written and symbolic symbols that are applied to the packaging of the product in order to understand for what purpose it is produced.

Series names and digital hook codes

Today, Owner produces a large number of different series, which can be distinguished by name and article number. This was done to simplify the search for the necessary models: within each series there are several different articles indicating the type of hook coating and some other designations.

In order to be able to quickly navigate all the designations applied to the box, their designation is discussed in detail below:

1. The largest number on the package , consisting of one or more digits, is the hook size. No. 22 is the smallest hook from this manufacturer, and the fractional designation 5/0 suggests that the package contains the largest device.
2. Directly below the hook size there is an icon depicting a crossed out circle. The number next to it, for example 0.39, is the diameter designation.
3. On the package there is a letter designation QTY or the word Quantity , next to which there is a number indicating the number of hooks that were placed in the package.
4. The name of the series , for example, Pin Hook, is printed on the packaging without any abbreviations.
5. There is always a digital value above the series name , for example, 50922 or 53135. This is an article indicating the type of coating; in this case, the identifiers of the black chrome and gold varieties were given.

Types of hook sharpening Owner

All Owner hooks are also classified according to the type of point sharpening.

There are two options in total, each with its own negative and positive sides; all their features are discussed below:

1. Supper Needle Point is a specific sharpening that gives the hook point some resemblance to a needle point. Not every angler can tell the difference between it and other options, but the penetrating ability of this variety is very low, which increases efficiency when fishing for prey and minimizes the likelihood of serious injury to the fish.
2. Cutting Point is a special type of sharpening developed by Owner. Thanks to the introduction of this technology, the tip of the hook is equipped with three cutting surfaces at once, which allows it to pierce even the hardest areas of the fish’s jaw without much difficulty. On packages with such models there is always a special inscription warning about the need to take precautions, since if such a hook is used carelessly it is very easy to injure yourself. The opinions of experts on hooks with Cutting Point sharpening are ambiguous, since their use increases the efficiency of hooking, but at the same time increases the risk of causing serious injuries to the fish in the form of tissue rupture, which increases the likelihood of it coming off when fishing.

Types of sharpening

Owner fishing hooks have two types of sharpening. The first type is called Cutting point. This sharpening option was developed by the company specifically for anglers who prefer to catch predatory fish. Products with Cutting point sharpening are characterized by a triangular cutting edge and allow you to reliably cut through fish whose mouth consists of hard tissue. These hooks are indispensable when fishing for such types of fish as:

• zander;
• catfish;
• pike.

Models with Supper needle point sharpening have a classic needle-shaped tip. Hooks sharpened with a Supper needle point cause virtually no damage when penetrating soft tissue, therefore, as a rule, they are used for catching white fish. Information about the type of sharpening is indicated on the packaging, thanks to which the angler can choose a model that will be optimally suited for fishing a certain type of fish.

Design features of Owner hooks

Many hook models from this manufacturer have individual design features. Information about this is usually contained on the packaging in the form of symbols.

To make it easier to understand the available assortment, all transcripts with a brief description are given below:

1. The Small Bard is a hook with a barb that has been kept to a minimum size to reduce the risk of dangerous injury to caught prey.
2. Twisted are hooks with a modified tip position, which is turned to the side. This feature allows for more effective hooking with minimal probability of fish escape.
3. Forged is a designation for hooks with a forged hem, which increases their strength and reliability while simultaneously reducing the diameter.
4. Press Bard are hooks with a pressed barb, which is necessary to minimize the risk of the caught prey coming off.
5. STB stands for balanced treble hooks.
6. Ringed refers to hooks that have a special ring at the bottom of the structure for fastening. Today, this design is the most common option.
7. Oval Ringed have the same design as regular Ringed hooks, but the fastening ring is shaped like an oval. Such models are usually used for tube streamers.

Design features

On the packaging of Owner hooks there are various symbols that determine the design features of the model. Having learned the meaning of these inscriptions, the angler can quickly get an idea of ​​​​the design of a particular hook. The following designations may be applied to the packaging:

• Press Bard - indicates the presence of a beard on the product, made using an innovative pressing method. Many anglers have noticed that such a beard holds the fish more reliably during the fishing process and practically eliminates slips.
• Small Bard - indicates that the product is equipped with a beard that is reduced in size. These types of hooks are often used by catch-and-release anglers because they are less likely to injure the fish. In addition, models with a small beard are better suited for fishing on delicate baits, such as bloodworms.
• The abbreviation STB is found on the packaging of treble hooks and indicates that all elements of the treble are perfectly balanced and of the same size.
• Oval Ringed - indicates the presence of a fastening element in the form of a ring having an oval shape. Such products are widely used in fly fishing, since the narrowed ring allows them to be used for tying flies on metal tubes.
• Forged - this abbreviation means that the hook has a laterally flattened, forged hook, which significantly increases the strength of the product.
• Ringed - indicates that the design of the hook contains a classic fastening element in the form of a round ring.

The absence of the inscriptions Ringed or Oval Ringed means that a spatula is used as a fastening element. Hooks with a spatula have minimal weight and are more often used for fishing with float tackle.

Types of Owner hook coatings

The type of coating is one of the most significant factors that affects the classification of Owner hooks. Not only the color of the coating, but also many of its characteristics, including strength, depend on this parameter.

A wide range of models allows you to select hooks by color and other parameters depending on the fishing conditions; among Owner products you can find devices for virtually all occasions.

In order to be able to understand them, the features of all coatings will be discussed below:

1. Black is a black matte finish, this is one of the most common options, which does not give any glare under water, in addition, it has an increased level of strength and anti-corrosion protection.
2. Black Chrome is a black chrome coating, all its properties and characteristics are similar to Black.
3. Gold and Oxidize Gold are two types of gold coatings that are the most versatile option: they can be used in virtually any conditions.
4. Tin is a designation for tinned coating.
5. White and Oxidize White are two varieties of nickel plating: the first option is white, and the second is grayish and slightly silvery.
6. Brown is a classic bronze finish.
7. Light Purple is a coating with a light lilac surface, this is an innovative solution from the manufacturer, which at the moment has only been tried by the most daring fishermen.
8. Forest Green is a green coating that is also a less common option. Some anglers who have tested such hooks in practice note that in some cases they are much more effective than classic varieties.
9. Red – red coating, another exotic variety of hooks.
10. Blue – blue coating, the last option from bright colors.
11. Woody-Brown is a wood-green coating that has appeared not so long ago, but is more popular than colored options, since its color is close to the usual bronze or golden surfaces.

Owner hooks

The Owner company is a well-known Japanese manufacturer of fishing accessories, which has been engaged in similar activities for almost half a century. During this time, fishing styles and techniques changed, new requirements were placed on gear, and this company has always kept up with the times, using the latest scientific developments and innovative technologies to ensure high quality and competitiveness of its products.

Such measures have made Owner a recognizable brand on the international fishing market; even novice fishermen have heard about the products of this company. The range of products offered is becoming more diverse every year, but most people are interested in purchasing hooks produced under this brand, since no other company can currently offer worthy analogues.

Manufacturing technology and materials of Owner hooks

Among the wide range of Owner products, you can find a wide variety of hooks with different characteristics, but they all have one thing in common: the material used was steel, which is characterized by increased strength and reliability. One of the secrets of this manufacturer is long-term cooperation with Japanese scientific institutes specializing in the study of fish.

The Owner company uses their developments and information about the anatomical features of the structure of the oral cavity of various breeds, as well as the specifics of their behavior during feeding. This allowed the manufacturer to invent a large number of different narrow-directional hooks that are suitable for catching certain types of prey.

Series names and digital hook codes

Owner's product range is so wide and varied that even the most experienced fishermen often get confused. In order for each person to be able to navigate the product of this manufacturer, below we will consider in detail the decoding of the various symbols that are usually present on the packaging:

5. QTY and Quantity with a numerical value informs the fisherman about the number of hooks included in the kit.

Types of hook sharpening Owner

The manufacturer pays considerable attention to sharpening all produced hooks; most models can be divided according to this criterion into the following two groups:

1. Cutting Point is an innovative and quite original way of applying sharpening, as it allows you to create at least three cutting edges. This feature is especially relevant when fishing for trophy specimens or simply strong and large fish, since the chance of successfully breaking through a hard jaw increases. This variety has negative and positive sides, but hooking and fishing will need to be done much more carefully, since such hooks very often injure the prey.
2. The Supper Needle Point is a simpler type of sharpening that resembles the point of a needle. The main advantage of this option is to minimize the risk of causing extensive wounds to the prey, this increases the quality of hooks and the likelihood that the fish will not fall off the hook.

Design features of Owner hooks

Most models are equipped with various design features that you need to know before making a purchase.

Information about this is usually printed on the packaging; below is a breakdown of the main symbols:

1. SmallBard indicates the presence of a very small beard, which is necessary to prevent injury to the fish during fishing.
2. PressBard is also evidence of the presence of an additional barb, which is pressed in and reduces the likelihood of fish escapes.
3. Twisted informs the angler of the change in tip placement, which is slightly twisted to the side.
4. Forged are devices whose design is equipped with a forged type underlining, which is necessary to increase strength and service life.
5. STB is used to designate tees that have a completely symmetrical design.
6. Ringed are common ringed devices that have a corresponding element for fastening.
7. Oval Ringed is similar to the previous option, but the ring has an elongated shape, so it looks like an oval.

Types of Owner hook coatings

• Woody-Brown is another color option that stands out slightly from the varieties listed above. The manufacturer called it wood-green coating, and such hooks are gradually becoming in demand on the market, since in appearance they are quite similar to the classic models.
