Gamakatsu Aal LS-5013 Hooks 2 10pcs NS Black

Gamakatsu Aal LS-5013 — Pre-tied Eel Hooks Built for the Bottom

Designed specifically for eel fishing, the Gamakatsu LS-5013 comes pre-tied on a 60 cm monofilament leader, so you can rig up fast and spend more time fishing.

Long Shank for Reliable Eel Hookups

The extended shank of the LS-5013 gives you a clear mechanical advantage when fishing for eel: it makes unhooking easier, reduces deep-swallowing, and keeps the point away from the bait mass for cleaner penetration. Gamakatsu's needle-sharp forging ensures the point engages immediately on the strike.

NS Black Coating for Stealth in Dark Water

The NS (Non-Shining) Black finish minimises light reflection, which matters when eels feed in murky, low-light conditions close to the bottom. The coating also adds a thin layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hooks hold their edge through a full session in fresh water.

Choose the Right Variant

All LS-5013 variants come as 10 pre-tied hooks on 60 cm mono leaders. Select the hook size that matches your bait size and target eel size.

• Size 2 (NS Black) — current variant: larger bait presentation; suited to bigger eels in rivers or lakes where specimen fish are expected

• Size 4: versatile all-round size; good balance between bait coverage and hooking efficiency for medium-sized eels

• Size 6: smaller profile; ideal for finesse rigs or when using smaller bait sections to attract less cautious fish

• Size 8: smallest in the range; best for shy or smaller eels, or when bites are tentative
