The SL-12S from Gamakatsu is a big game, short shank hook to be used when a little extra stoutness is needed.
Ultra sharp and resistant to marine corrosion, it is THE reference for tying flies for big saltwater fish.
It is logically recommended by most saltwater fly fishing guides.
Worried about hooks opening? No risk with the SL-12S
My choice of professional fishing guide specializing in tropical fly fishing.
The #1/0 and #2/0 are some of the best permit and tarpon hooks made.
The slightly upturned point is super sharp and like all Gamakatsu hooks, need no sharpening out of the pack.
Sizes #4/0 and 6/0 are perfect for larger Trevally and Jacks (Jack Crevalle), big snapper or other salwater brutes flies, including big poppers like NYAP.
It's also an excellent choice for fly fishing for catfish (wels) and pike.
Features
• Big Game Saltwater Wide Gap
• Tin plated and silver in color
• Straight eye Great for tarpon and other large species (jacks, snappers) flies. Great for NYAP
