Gamakatsu LS-1223 N/L — Long-Shank Eye Hook for Natural Baits

The Gamakatsu LS-1223 N/L is a reliable, general-purpose hook designed for natural bait fishing across a wide range of species. Its classic long-shank geometry paired with a sharp inward-curved point makes it a dependable choice for both coarse and predator anglers.

Long Shank for Easy Bait Presentation

The extended shank and narrow hook bend allow small natural baits — worms, maggot bunches, and small live- or deadbaits — to be mounted naturally and securely. The slim profile also makes it easy for fish with small mouths to take the bait confidently, improving bite-to-hook-up conversion.

Inward-Curved Point for a Secure Hold

The inward-curved (N/L) point is engineered to roll into the fish's mouth on the strike, increasing hooking efficiency and reducing the chance of the fish shaking free. Once set, the point maintains pressure against the jaw, giving you a firm hold throughout the fight.

Choose the Right Variant

The LS-1223 N/L is available in NS Black finish across several sizes. Select the size that best matches your target species and bait:

• Size 6 — larger baits, bream, tench, bigger perch, and eel

• Size 8 — versatile all-round size for roach, bream, perch, and eel with worms or small fish baits

• Size 10 — medium-sized baits; well-suited for roach, perch, and light predator rigs

• Size 12 — smaller baits, roach, rudd, and finicky feeders in clear water

• Size 14 (this variant) — fine-wire performance for small natural baits; ideal for shy-biting roach, rudd, and small perch
