Gamakatsu Hooks and Tackle

The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation.  Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio.  These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point.  

The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to pierce the fishes mouth easily.  If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try the Gamakatsu Nautilus Circle Hooks.

The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation.  Gamakatsu Nautilus Ringed Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio.  The ring allows the bait to swim easier and adds a pivot point when in the fishes mouth which reduces leverage which can pull the hook.  

These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point.  The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to hook them easily.  If you're looking for the best of both worlds, try the Gamakatsu Nautilus Ringed Circle Hooks.

Gamakatsu Offset Shank Worm EWG Hooks are the standard for worms and creature baits.  We love the bend on these hooks and the super sharp point.

 These fishing hooks work best for thick bodied worms, craw, and creature type baits because of the extra wide gap.  An extra wide gap is defined by the distance from the point of the hook to the bottom of the curve of the shank.  EWG hooks are good for plastic baits that have a bigger body to them.  If the gap is too small, upon hook-set the point of the hook won't be able to come through the plastic to pierce the fishes mouth.  The extra gap gives the hook room to come through the plastic which exposes the hook.

 Tie one on if you haven't yet, we are confident you will be satisfied with the results.  

Gamakatsu Split Shot, Drop Shot Hooks have the right bend to make the bait presentation at the right angle.  The preferred knot is the palomar but make sure you take your tag line and run it through the eye of the hook to finish the knot.  

We like this hook because it's very sharp and has the perfect angle for drop shot rigs and split shot rigs.  The wire is thin so hookups are solid, allowing you to get the fish in.  Even though they are thin, they are still pretty tough considering the wire size.  There are 6 hooks per pack but we also have bulk packs for a better value. 

The Gamakatsu Round 211 Jig Head is built for anglers who demand precision in finesse and grub presentations. Its short-shank design keeps your soft plastic tight to the head for a natural, compact profile — exactly what pressured fish respond to.

Specifications

The Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Bronze Hooks are very sticky hooks.  They aren't the strongest hooks with only 1X strong wire, but the thin wire sticks better than a stronger hook.  

If you're fish are coming off once hooked, consider going to these and see the difference.  You may need to change your hook out more often because they get bent, but at least you landed the fish.

The Gamakatsu Live Bait Hooks are a must-have for any angler. With unmatched versatility, these hooks guarantee to handle tough saltwater fish with ease.

Their sticky sharp design and super strong construction make them a reliable choice for all your live bait needs. Trust in Gamakatsu for the perfect catch every time.

The Gamakatsu Weighted Superline Spring-Lock Hooks are awesome for swimbaits or creature baits when you don't want a bullet weight.  The weighted hook changes the way the bait falls and reacts on the bottom. 

The screw on the eye makes rigging it breeze and the up-turned eye on the hook allows for proper alignment.  As always Gamakatsu hooks are very sharp and tournament proven.  We think you find lots of applications for this hook.

Gamakatsu’s Finesse Wide Gap Hook is the perfect hook for wacky rigging for bass. It’s also a great hook for free drifting for salmon and steelhead with small baits.  

We find them great for wacky rigged Senkos or any sinking worm.

 Gamakatsu has given us the Superline Extra Wide Gap Hook. This hook uses heavier gauge steel wire that will not straighten out under load but with enough flex that it is not brittle and will not break when stressed. Made for big baits and applications such as flipping where hard, quick hooksets are common, so this hook will perform perfectly for you.

In addition, you have the Gamakatsu signature ultra-sharp point that will penetrate and hold so you will hook more fish and lose less.

Ultra sharp, strong, and designed to penetrate quickly and hold tight, Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Hooks are made from high-carbon steel. Their conical needle-honed points retain their razor sharp "bite" through many catches. These Round Bend Treble Hooks from Gamakatsu work great as replacement hooks for lures and make excellent stinger hooks as well.

• High carbon steel
• Conical needle-honed points
• The ideal replacement trebles

Red finish

Gamakatsu’s most versatile hook, the Gamakatsu Octopus Hook has long been known for its durability and strength. The Octopus hook comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and finishes, including fluorescent finishes. 

Red is the first color to disappear  underwater and the theory is that red hooks cannot be seen as easy by fish.  They are most used by bait fishermen but these hooks can be used in many ways.

The Gamakatsu Worm Hook Black is a light wire fishing hook with an O'Shaughnessy bend, designed for soft plastic baits, particularly worms, known for its sharpness and strength.

• Design: Features an O'Shaughnessy bend and a straight or offset shank, offering a larger bite area for better hook sets. The O'Shaughnessy bend is ideal for bulkier plastics and provides superior holding power. Some models include keeper barbs or a Z-Bend to secure baits and reduce pull-offs.
• Material and Finish: Made from high-carbon steel light wire with a black nickel finish for corrosion resistance and improved hook-up rates. The hooks undergo a unique tempering process for strength without brittleness and are sharpened to a conical point for exceptional sharpness.
• Applications: Ideal for Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, or weightless presentations like flukes. The wide-gap design minimizes hook tear-out and is effective for bass fishing.
• Sizes and Packs: Available in sizes like 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, and 5/0, with pack quantities varying (e.g., 5 or 6 per pack for smaller sizes, up to 25 in bulk packs).
• User Feedback: Praised for sharpness and high hookup ratios, especially for Texas-rigged worms. Some users note hook points may bend with braid or heavy fish, preferring brands like OWNER for durability.
• Technology: Some versions feature Nano Alpha coating for 2x better hook-up performance and 4x better corrosion resistance.
