Gamakatsu SC15 Saltwater Hook

Gamakatsu SC15 Saltwater Hook

Hook of choice by Keys fly fishing guides for big-game saltwater species. Tin-plated high-carbon steel hooks are built to do battle with big saltwater fish, yet lighter than most stainless hooks so casting them isn't such a chore. Sharper, lighter, and stronger than stainless steel hooks. Great for tying your favorite Tuna, Tarpon, or Pike fly patterns.Size 1, 2, 4, 1/0 in Box of 12Size 2/0, 3/0 in Box of 10

Best All-Round Saltwater Hook, February 2, 2009
By: RBenninger from Morgantown, WV

"Whether you tying tarpon patterns such as toads, destroyers, merkins, or EP patterns such as the Peanut Bunker/Streamers, this hook is the single best choice. With a gap bend much more open you will reduce the amount of short strikes and missed fish. Plus a complement to hookups, is how light in weight these hooks really are. Casting into a head-on wind situation is lesser the battle now. I really enjoy tying my flies using this style of hook and I hope you will too!

Tight Lines!!"

Gamakatsu wonder!, December 11, 2007
By: Garioch from Aberdeenshire, Scotland

"I love this hook! For its size it is exceptionally light, and very very strong. I fly fish for Pike and have found these hooks ideal for dressing EP style flies. I tend to use the 4/0 size and its shape is ideal for this range of flies.
Being tin plated they do not rust when put away wet, a bonus for me, and they are extremely sharp. The only thing I have to to is pinch the barb down.
Great hook for Pike flies."
