Abstract: A fish hook in the form of a flat, hook-shaped, sheet metal stamping which is flat-stamped from relatively thin, flat sheet-metal stock, said flat stamping having a planar, hook-shaped portion and an elongate shank portion both of which have rectangular cross-sectional configurations. The hook-shaped portion includes a bill portion both of which portions are disposed in the same plane as the shank portion, and the bill portion is integral with the hook-shaped portion and also has a rectangular cross sectional configuration. The said shank portion of the hook has a seamless eye which enables it to be attached to a fish line.
