We’ve been loving the Gamakatsu SL12S Short hook since its recent debut. With its short shank, and with everything else the same as the popular SL12S (except the dark finish), the Short’s potential as a tarpon hook was obvious. Then the feedback we received on hookup ratio and fish retention really drove the point home, pun intended.
So if you’re looking for a short shank hook with a wide gap, incredible staying power, and the strength to hold up to hook-breakers like tarpon without the weight of a heavier hook – check out the SL12S Short here.
