Which stainless steel is better for fishing hooks?

This is the third article about the types of stainless steel used for fishing hooks.

I have written about the characteristics of austenitic and martensitic steels.

In the subject line, you say "Which is better?", but since it is used by our company,

Of course it's martensitic.

This is to give the product the "flexible strength" that is our unique technology.

From here on, I will be talking about armchair theories.

A fish bites. Let's assume that a load of 100 kg is applied to the hook.

What if it grows here?

The load that was being applied is released.

What if it breaks here?

The tuna will also escape along with the load it was under.

What if it just bends without stretching or breaking here?

The load accumulates without escaping, and the tuna does not escape either.

Every time the fish changes direction, the accumulated load rebounds and bites.

It hurts more to hit something with a bamboo ruler by bending it than to hit it normally.

The forehead flick hurts because the force is stored with the thumb.

This logic is reflected in the bite.

That's what I imagine, but I wonder if it's possible to check it with an underwater drone or something?

So with that fantasy, I'll end this long and meaningless post here 😓

It's not a trade secret, but we've deliberately left the stainless steel material type vague.

Anyone who knows will understand if they just Google it.
