Gamakatsu LS-5013 Hook — Precision-Built for Flatfish and Cod

The Gamakatsu LS-5013 is a specialist sea hook designed for surf casting and boat fishing with worm baits, delivering reliable hook-ups on flatfish and cod in coastal conditions.

Long Shank, Narrow Bend — Built for Small-Mouthed Flatfish

The LS-5013's elongated shank combined with a narrow hook bend makes it easy for flatfish — which have comparatively small mouths — to take the bait confidently. This geometry ensures the hook is correctly positioned when using ragworms or lugworms, maximising contact on the strike.

Versatile Sea Hook for Surf and Boat Fishing

Whether you're fishing from the beach or a boat over sandy or muddy ground, the LS-5013 performs equally well. It excels when targeting flounder, plaice, dab, and other flatfish species, and can also be used with natural bait rigs for cod. The straight eye allows fast, secure attachment to surf rigs and flatfish traces.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants of the Gamakatsu LS-5013 share the same black coating and sea hook design. The variants differ in hook size and pack quantity — larger sizes typically come in smaller counts per pack. Select the size that matches your target species and bait size:

Smaller sizes — flounder, dab, smaller plaice; ideal for smaller worm baits on light surf rigs
Medium sizes — plaice, larger flounder; versatile for mixed flatfish fishing with full ragworm or lugworm baits
Larger sizes — big plaice, cod; suited to bulkier natural bait presentations and heavier surf or boat rigs
