Gamakatsu LS-4644 — PTFE-Coated Catfish Hook for Large Baits and Hard-Fighting Fish

The Gamakatsu LS-4644 is a specialist catfish hook engineered for big baits and powerful fish, combining an octopus-style profile with a slim, penetrating point and a low-weight build that drives home quickly on the strike.

Built for Catfish, Sturgeon, and Beyond

The LS-4644 was developed specifically for large target species such as wels catfish and sturgeon. Its specially shaped shank and long, slender point are designed to find purchase even through tough tissue, while the overall construction keeps weight minimal so the hook moves freely with the bait and sets fast under pressure.

PTFE Coating — Smoother Entry, Lasting Sharpness

The P.T.F.E. (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating does two jobs at once: it reduces friction on the point so penetration requires less force, and it protects the hook surface against corrosion during long sessions on big rivers. This finish has become the go-to choice for catfish anglers across Europe, particularly on renowned catfish rivers such as the Ebro, Po, and Saône.

Choose the Right Size

All variants share the same P.T.F.E.-coated, wels-catfish-oriented LS-4644 design. Size determines the bait presentation and species suitability. Smaller sizes suit medium catfish and large bream or carp used as live bait; larger sizes match trophy wels and sturgeon set-ups with big dead or live baits.
