Gamakatsu | SL12S Big Game Hook 100 Pack

By A Mystery Man Writer

Gamakatsu SL12S-1X Short, 2.0 - The SL12-S has been one of Gamakatsu’s most popular hooks for tying tarpon, billfish and other big game flies. The new 1xShort version broadens the appeal by increasing the wire size for additional strength and shortening the shank length to accommodate smaller patterns that have become the rage in recent years. The SL12-S features a straight eye and is made from 1x heavy Gamakatsu wire that’s ideal for use with most trophy-class, saltwater species.

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.
