Gamakatsu LS-4644 — Catfish Hook with PTFE Coating for Reliable Hook-Sets on Big Fish

The Gamakatsu LS-4644 is a purpose-built wels catfish hook combining an octopus-style shape with a slender, needle-sharp point and a low-weight design that drives home fast — even through the tough mouth of a trophy catfish.

Built for Big Baits, Big Fish

Developed specifically for large baits and powerful species, the LS-4644 features a specially shaped hook bend paired with a long, slim point. This geometry mirrors an octopus hook profile, giving excellent bait presentation while maintaining the penetration angle needed to convert runs into landed fish — whether you're targeting wels catfish or sturgeon.

PTFE Coating for Smoother, Faster Penetration

The P.T.F.E. (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating reduces surface friction dramatically, so the point slides through with minimal resistance on the strike. This coating has become the go-to choice for serious catfish anglers across Europe's big rivers — the Ebro, Po, and Saône — where fish are hard-fighting and hook-sets must be immediate.

The LS-4644 is available across a wide range of sizes to match your bait and target species. All sizes share the same PTFE-coated, catfish-specific design. Pack quantities vary by size — larger hooks come in smaller packs.
