Madcat Pellet Hook Link 16X — Ultra-Supple HMPE for Stealthy Catfish Rigs

The Madcat Pellet Hook Link 16X is a specialized 16-strand HMPE hooklink designed to outsmart wary catfish. Its exceptionally supple construction glides unnoticed over catfish teeth, giving you the edge when targeting cautious fish with pellet tactics.

Stealthy Presentation That Fools Even Cautious Catfish

Constructed from 16 braided HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) yarns in a discreet brown color, this hooklink blends seamlessly into natural riverbeds and lake bottoms. When a catfish inhales your pellet and moves off, the ultra-smooth fibers slide gently over its teeth without raising alarm—until the hook finds its hold. This delayed detection is critical when fishing pressured waters where catfish have learned to eject suspicious rigs.

Superior Handling and Knot Strength for Demanding Rigs

The 16-strand construction delivers exceptional suppleness that makes tying hair rigs and mounting pellets effortless, while maintaining outstanding abrasion resistance against sharp catfish dentition and rocky structure. The fine 0.65mm diameter combined with a robust 47kg breaking strain provides the perfect balance of stealth and strength for medium catfish setups, ensuring your rig performs flawlessly from cast to hookset.

Choose the Right Variant

Match your hooklink diameter and strength to your target catfish size and fishing conditions:

• 0.65mm / 47kg — Ideal for medium catfish (5–20kg) in clear water or pressured venues where finesse presentation is essential; perfect for smaller pellets (16–24mm) and lighter leads

• 0.80mm / 65kg — Best for larger catfish (15–40kg) in rivers with moderate current or when using bigger pellets (24–32mm); balances visibility with increased abrasion resistance

• 0.95mm / 85kg — Heavy-duty option for trophy catfish (30kg+) in snag-heavy waters or strong currents; suited to large pellets (32mm+) and robust terminal tackle
