Gamakatsu LS-5213 Hook Silver Barbed

Gamakatsu LS-5213 — Silver Worm Hook for Flatfish & Cod

The Gamakatsu LS-5213 is a reliable single hook designed for natural bait fishing in both saltwater and freshwater, delivering a sharp, secure hookset every time.

Inward-Curved Point for Positive Hooksets

The inward-curved (chemically sharpened) point drives into the fish's mouth on the strike and resists pulling free during the fight. Whether you're surf casting for flatfish or targeting cod with lugworm, the geometry of this point keeps fish pinned without damaging the bait unnecessarily.

Dual Bait-Keeper Barbs Hold Worm Baits Firmly

Two barbs on the hook shank grip ragworm, lugworm, or earthworm baits securely, preventing them from sliding down and bunching during the cast. This means your bait stays presented cleanly in the water, improving both attraction and hooking efficiency.

Choose the Right Variant

The LS-5213 range is available in different coatings and size selections — choose the finish that suits your conditions:

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 Silver / Inward Curved / Single Hook / Barbed(this product) — the silver coating offers a subtle, natural appearance in clear or shallow water; well suited to flatfish and cod fishing with worm baits in surf and sea rigs

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 Nickel / Inward Curved / Single Hook — slightly brighter finish, same inward-curved point geometry; versatile for salt and freshwater worm-bait fishing

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 Nickel / Inward Bent / Worm Hook — inward-bent point variation; favoured for eel fishing with earthworm in freshwater or mixed-method sea rigs
