Gamakatsu SC15

Description

The Gamakatsu SC15 is a wide gap tin hook with a short shank. Originally, designed to be a saltwater hook for Tarpon, the smaller sizes in #4-8 have proven to be ideal as baitfish imitations for trout. The short shank provides a good platform for brushed hair streamers like the Perfection Perch or Awesome Shad and the wide gap provides great hooking ability with  a super sticky point. The Gamakatsu SC15 includes a barb and open eye design. Gamakatsu started as a hook manufacturer in  in Japan 1955. They made all of their hooks by hand until 1963 when they automated within a new facility. By 1976, Gamakatsu was the leading hook producer in Japan. In 1992, Gamakatsu entered the US market.

Gamakatsu utilizes a unique tempering process allowing them to make a hook of superior strength and durability. The use of high carbon steel provided Gamakatsu hooks with high strength with a smaller wire, making their hooks desirable for all anglers. Sharpness is one of the most important factors in hook performance and Gamakatsu designed a superior conically needle honed point that are always sharp. Gamakatsu introduced colored hooks to match any lure or bait. Finally, Gamakatsu conducts continuous research to develop new styles of hooks to land more fish. A top example of style innovation is the extra wide gap (EWG) that hooks and holds fish better.
