Gamakatsu’s Superline Offset Shank EWG Work Hook has been designed specifically by Gamakatsu to address issues with braided lines. With it's extra wide gap and super hero like strength, the Superline hook won't straighten out easily, yet won't snap under pressure like many other heavy duty hooks. The Gamakatsu Superline offset hook is also designed to descend to the right depth quickly without the need of extra weight, is razor sharp to hook more fish every time and is precision made, as with all Gamakatsu hooks.
