Gamakatsu LS-5373 Hook Inward Curved

Gamakatsu LS-5373 Hook Inward Curved — Reliable Hold in Hard Wels Mouths

The Gamakatsu LS-5373 is a purpose-built wels catfish (Silurus glanis) single hook designed to deliver a decisive hookset when bait fishing for specimen-sized cats.

Heavy-Wire Construction for Big-Fish Battles

Forged from thick-gauge wire, the LS-5373 is exceptionally robust and resists bending or opening during the prolonged fight with a large wels catfish. The strong build handles the stress of braid and mono traces alike without compromising hook geometry.

Inward-Curved Point for Sure Hooksets on Break-Away Rigs

The sharp, inward-curved point is specifically engineered to penetrate the tough, bony mouth of wels catfish. It excels on break-away (drop-off) rigs where a positive, self-setting hookup is critical. The wide eye threads quickly onto braided or monofilament catfish leaders, saving valuable time at the water.

Choose the Right Variant

The Gamakatsu LS-5373 Wallerhaken (wels catfish hook) range shares the same heavy-wire, inward-curved design across all versions. Select the size that best matches your bait and target fish:

• Gamakatsu LS-5373 Hook Inward Curved — inward curved point; ideal for break-away and float rigs with whole or large cut deadbaits for specimen wels catfish
