The LS-4644 is optimized for catfish and pike fishing. Its octopus-style bend and long slender point excel when targeting large specimens. European anglers use it primarily on rivers like the Ebro, Po, and Saône.
Smaller sizes (#6, #1/0) suit medium catfish and pike applications, while #2/0 offers all-around versatility. Larger hooks (#4/0, #6/0) deliver the deep penetration needed for trophy-class fish and heavy baits.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, or Teflon) is a hard-wearing coating that reduces friction, accelerates hookset, and protects the hook from corrosion. It's become the standard among serious European catfish anglers for its durability and performance in tough freshwater conditions.
Pack sizes vary by hook size. Most sizes (#6, #4/0, #2/0, #1/0) contain 5 hooks per pack, while the largest size (#6/0) contains 4 hooks. Check the product packaging for your specific size.
The LS-4644 features a standard barb to ensure secure hook hold during extended fights with large fish. The barb design complements the hook's penetration-focused geometry.
While designed primarily for catfish and pike, the LS-4644's robust construction makes it suitable for other large-fish applications involving heavy baits. Its octopus shape and penetration characteristics make it versatile for various bottom-fishing approaches.

These hooks are engineered for serious catfish and pike fishing. The LS-4644 combines aggressive penetration with reliable holding power, making it the choice for anglers targeting large fish across Europe's premier waters.
The LS-4644 features a distinctive octopus-style bend with a long, slender point designed specifically for large catfish and pike. Despite substantial size, the hook is kept intentionally light to enable rapid penetration on heavy rigs and large baits. The specially shaped bend and extended point deliver confidence when fishing with substantial livebaits or prepared offerings.
The proprietary PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating sets the LS-4644 apart. This hard-wearing finish reduces friction during cast and retrieve, accelerates hookset, and provides superior corrosion resistance in demanding freshwater conditions. The coating has become the standard among European pike and catfish specialists fishing rivers like the Ebro, Po, and Saône.
Available in a carefully curated range from size #6 to #6/0, each variant is optimized for its intended application. Smaller sizes (#6, #1/0) suit medium catfish and pike, while larger hooks (#4/0, #6/0) deliver the bone-deep penetration required for trophy-class specimens.
