The Gamakatsu Shiner Hook is designed with a prawn-like profile, making it perfect for presenting whole unpeeled prawns. Simply start the hook under the tail, follow the prawn’s natural bend, and have the point protrude just under the head—an irresistible setup for predatory fish.
Highly effective as a live-baiting hook for tail-hooked prawns, it’s also excellent in larger sizes as a cut-bait hook for species like barramundi and snapper. With Gamakatsu’s ultra-sharp points and precision engineering, these hooks consistently lip-hook fish for secure hook-ups and easy releases.
