Stop, Hammertime – Gear and Apparel Dedicated to a Distinctive Shark
During our recent trip to Islamorada, Florida, we caught quite a number of different species of sharks. They’re generally seen as a nuisance down there – especially the ones that often chase and bite off the other sportfish that you’re fighting – but truth be told they’re also a lot of fun to fight on light tackle.
Among the many types we landed, Hanna caught a bonnethead shark, one of the nine types of hammerheads. Our friend Jennifer Combs also caught a “true” hammerhead. Whether it’s at an aquarium, on the intro to television’s “Shark Tank” or anywhere else that sharks are featured, the various kinds of hammerheads are probably the second most noted after great whites, specifically because of their oddball head shapes.
Not surprisingly, the manufacturers of fishing gear and apparel have picked up on these sea creatures’ unique looks when making gear to sell. Here are some of our favorites:
