Gamakatsu LS-5013 N/L Hook 8 12pcs

Gamakatsu LS-5013 N/L — Eyed Hook Engineered for Natural Bait

The Gamakatsu LS-5013 N/L (Natural/Live bait) is a long-shank eyed hook built to present natural baits cleanly and hook effectively — even fish with smaller mouths.

Long Shank for Confident Hooking

The extended shank combined with a narrow hook bend keeps bait mounted naturally while giving fish with small mouths a full chance to take the hook. The straight, needle-sharp point drives home consistently without excessive force, reducing missed runs on cautious biters like perch, zander, and flatfish.

NS Black Coating for Low-Visibility Presentation

The NS Black finish gives the hook a dark, low-reflective surface that blends into natural baits such as worms, small fish, or cut bait — helping avoid any visual cue that might make wary fish hesitate. The coating also provides a layer of corrosion resistance, useful when fishing in saltwater or brackish conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The LS-5013 N/L is available in a range of sizes to match your target species and bait size. All variants share the NS Black coating, eyed (Öhrhaken) design, and straight point.
