Gamakatsu LS-5213 Hook Nickel Barbed

Gamakatsu LS-5213 Hook Nickel Barbed — Reliable Bait Hold for Surf and Sea Fishing

The Gamakatsu LS-5213 is a purpose-built worm hook (Wurmhaken) designed for anglers targeting flatfish and cod in saltwater, as well as eel in freshwater — using natural baits such as lugworm and earthworm.

Inward-Curved Point for Confident Hook-Sets

The sharp, inward-curved point drives home efficiently on the take, maximising contact with the fish's mouth. This geometry is especially effective when fishing from the beach or boat with soft natural baits that require positive penetration on subtle bites.

Dual Shank Barbs Keep Bait Firmly in Place

Two barbs positioned on the hook shank grip worm baits securely, preventing them from sliding down during casting or retrieve. This is a key advantage in surf fishing, where long-distance casts and strong currents can quickly strip a bait off a plain hook.

Choose the Right Variant

The LS-5213 range covers a selection of finishes and point styles to match different conditions and preferences. Check which suits your setup:
