The new Puffin brand of stainless steel fishing hooks and accessories has both surprised and challenged many people in the commercial fishing industry, the manufacturer Beko-Dimon told WF.

Beko-Dimon Fishing Co is an Indo-Icelandic joint venture/JV company, specialising in the production of high-quality stainless steel and hi-carbon steel longlining hooks, including EZ baiters, circle and tuna hooks.

EZ baiter hooks form the majority of the JV’s production. They are available from size 10/0 to 15/0, with or without being rigged with snoods and line. These hooks are popularly used in Iceland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, the US-Seattle, Russia, Korea, New Zealand and some Latin America countries.

'We surprised our competitors by offering these stainless steel hooks, which we believe work as effectively as hi-carbon hooks and are also competitively priced', said a Beko-Dimon spokesman.

Intense speculation followed the hooks’ launch, with many in the industry questioning whether these hooks were indeed manufactured from stainless steel and if so whether they could work as well as hi-carbon steel hooks.

'It took time but [the doubters] were proven wrong and it was shown that not only do these stainless hooks perform well but they also have much better rust resistance, giving fishermen [better] value for their money.

'Probably the same happened when stainless hooks were introduced earlier into the market for the manufacture of tuna, circle and longlining hooks. However, the market for these hooks has grown over the years because they work well'.
