New Field Test Hook Reports

Gamakatsu Company
(www.gamakatsu.com/)
Gamakatsu Siwash Hook
Size 1/0
Serial Number 53011

Although this hook is marketed as a lure replacement item, it's really useful in many other applications as well. In fact, it is my go-to hook when near-perfect hookups are a mandate, such as tarpon, rubbery-lipped permit, and bonefish on ultralight line. I prefer the "model perfect" bend, and the sharpness of the point for hook-setting efficiency exceeds expectations. I cannot recall other than being throughly pleased with this item's truly outstanding characteristics and performance in saltwater angling on the flats, inshore and offshore.
