Gamakatsu Bead Hooks

The Gamakatsu Bead Hook is a specialized terminal tackle option engineered specifically for bead fishing techniques targeting Salmon and Steelhead. Unlike standard octopus hooks often repurposed for beads, this hook is purpose-built to improve hook-up ratios when drifting beads in current.

Its design addresses the common challenges of bead fishing—specifically, hooking and holding powerful fish that often strike short or jump aggressively.

Key Features & Benefits

• Tournament Grade Wire (TGW): The hook is constructed from Gamakatsu's premium TGW, which is 20% thinner than standard carbon steel but retains equal strength. This thinner profile allows for faster, effortless hook penetration.

• Nano Alpha Coating: It features a specialized slick gray coating that serves two purposes: it reduces friction for instant hook sets and provides 4x greater corrosion resistance than standard finishes.

• Optimized Geometry:

  • Longer Shank: Provides better spacing between the hook point and the bead, ensuring the point is free to grab the fish's jaw.

  • Wide Gap: Increases the "bite" area of the hook, which is critical for keeping fish pinned during head shakes and jumps.

• Needlepoint Sharpness: Conically honed point that stays sharp even after bouncing along river bottoms.
