GAMAKATSU SL12S BIG GAME

Gamakatsu's SL12 Big Game hook was specifically developed for fly anglers who chase big fish in bluewater, by US bluewater guru Trey Combs.

Featuring Gamakatsu's legendary needle sharp penetration, fine wire and small barb construction, it offers the best possible chance of hooking large pelagic species like marlin and sailfish.

This 4X strong hook is available in sizes 2-10/0. In the small sizes this hook is ideal for tying flies for just about anything that swims. In the small and medium sizes it's perfect for flies tied for mackerel, sailfish and barramundi. The fine wire in the larger sizes makes big tandem hook flies lighter and easier to cast.
