Gamakatsu LS-5213 Hooks Red Barbed

Gamakatsu LS-5213 — Red Barbed Worm Hook for Surf and Eel Fishing

The Gamakatsu LS-5213 is a purpose-built worm hook (Wurmhaken) in a fish-attracting red finish, designed for anglers targeting eel in freshwater and flatfish or cod from the surf.

Inward-Curved Point for Instant Hook-Ups

The sharp, inward-curved point drives home on the lightest bite and seats firmly in the fish's mouth, giving you a reliable hook-set whether you're casting a lugworm into the surf or drifting a earthworm along a river bottom.

Dual Shank Barbs Keep Bait Locked in Place

Two barbs on the hook shank grip worm baits — earthworms, lugworms, and ragworms — firmly against the bend, so your presentation stays intact cast after cast, even in strong tidal currents.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants of the Gamakatsu LS-5213 share the same red coating, inward-curved point, and dual shank barbs — differences between variants are in hook size, which affects bait match and target species:

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 red — smaller sizes: best for eel with earthworm in rivers and canals, or finesse surf rigs

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 red — medium sizes: versatile choice for surf fishing targeting flatfish (plaice, dab) with lugworm

• Gamakatsu LS-5213 red — larger sizes: suitable for bigger flatfish and cod in surf and sea-leader (Brandungssystem) setups

All sizes can be tied directly to mono or braided hook lengths, surf leaders, and sea traces.
