Hooks

Gamakatsu’s Nautilus series saltwater hooks are joined in 2013 by the Nautilus Light. A light wire hook that was developed for fishing fragile live baits, the Nautilus Light is an ideal finesse hook that’s long on strength. Produced from forged high carbon steel, the Nautilus Light features a straight eye and offset point for superior hooking performance. Like all Gamakatsu Nautilus hooks, the Nautilus Light’s unique circle hook shape is designed to hook and hold which is precisely why more saltwater anglers are making Gamakatsu their hook-of-choice. Superior strength, sharpness and design add-up to make the Nautilus Light a sure bet for live bait and chunk bait anglers from coast-to-coast.

Gamakatsu’s Straight Eye Shiner Hook is designed to fish live shiners, crawdads, and shrimp. The hook’s shape and light weight enhance the presentation of live baits. This style is also very popular for many different types of Catfish baits. Exceptionally sharp and forged for unparalleled strength.

Another technique-specific hook, Gamakatsu designed the EWG Spring-Lock to be the perfect hook for paddle tail swim baits.

When only a heavy-duty treble hook will do, Gamakatsu’s 4x strong is built to withstand the pressure. Forged for exceptional strength, Gamakatsu’s 4x Strong Treble Hook is equally sharp and immediately ready for action!

Gamakatsu’s new Short Shank EWG (Extra Wide Gap) Treble is different from top-to-bottom. For crankbaits of all types — there’s nothing better — it’s the perfect replacement hook. First, we opened the points of this treble up slightly for even better hooking performance. The Short Shank EWG Treble converts those fish that slash at your bait into sure hook-ups. The shorter shank and wide gap design provides less room for fish to throw the hook. In fact, this attribute actually wedges the fish between the hook and the crankbait…it’s the ultimate in fish holding, which means fish landing, performance. That’s not all. Gamakatsu’s Short Shank EWG Treble features Gamakatsu’s exclusive “Magic Eye” that makes changing hooks a breeze. Also, the hook’s inline points run parallel to the bait creating a perfect balance point so your crankbaits run perfectly.

All the attributes of the Short Shank EWG Treble just beefed up to 2X Strong dimensions for tackle-busting big game species like striper, musky and peacock bass.
