Pohu Fishing Tackle — Poyang Lake's Billion-Hook Factory

Jiangxi Pohu Fishing Gear Co., Ltd. is a precision manufacturer specializing in the research, development, and production of fish hooks, based on the shore of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. The company’s origins trace back to the late Qing Dynasty, and its modern operation combines generations of hook-making craftsmanship with contemporary manufacturing technology.

Heritage and Location

Pohu sits in the Lutian Industrial Park of Poyang County — the heart of the Poyang hook cluster, which supplies the majority of China’s domestic fishing hook market and is also home to BKK, the world’s second-largest hook manufacturer. The region’s hook-making tradition, built around the Poyang Lake fishery, gives Pohu access to a deep pool of skilled labor and specialized heat-treatment and finishing suppliers.

Facility and Capacity

The company occupies a 25-mu site (roughly 16,700 square meters) and employs more than 200 people, including close to 50 dedicated research-and-development and quality-control staff. Its production line operates approximately 1,000 hook-making machines, with an annual capacity of about 1 billion hooks — one of the larger dedicated hook plants in the Jiangxi cluster.

Materials and Manufacturing Process

Pohu sources its raw materials from the top of the wire supply chain: German 80WA steel, Japanese 828 steel, and domestic high-carbon steel, which determine hook toughness from the very start. Every stage of production is controlled to hold hook point sharpness, springiness, and hardness within specification. After forming, hooks pass through advanced electroplating and electrophoresis finishing lines that deliver extended rust and corrosion protection — a critical selling point for saltwater and long-shelf-life retail programs.

Brands and Market Position

The company markets its own brands — POHU, Beili, and Huali Jinsi — alongside OEM production. Products are sold across China and exported internationally, serving both domestic wholesalers and overseas buyers looking for a dedicated hook factory with in-house R&D.

What Buyers Should Know

Pohu is a good fit for buyers seeking a high-volume, vertically integrated hook supplier: wire sourcing, forming, heat treatment, sharpening, and finishing all happen under one roof in Poyang County. The combination of 1,000 machines, 50-plus QC/R&D staff, and a 1-billion-hook capacity makes the factory well suited to private-label and OEM hook programs at scale.
