Gamakatsu C14S Glo Bug HOOKS

Gamakatsu C14S Glo Bug HOOKS

A hook designed specifically for Glo-Bugs and other egg patterns, the Gamakatsu C14S Glo-Bug Hooks are a great option whenever you need to fool egg-eating fish like salmon, steelhead, and other opportunistic feeders. 2x strong, equipped with a short shank, and available in sizes 2-12, these hooks are ideal for large egg patterns and heavy fish, however, that doesn’t mean that you can’t use them to tie smaller eggs whenever trout are feeding on sucker spawn. With a super strong build and ultra sticky point, the Gamakatsu C14S Glo-Bug Hooks are a reliable choice for all of your egg-tying needs.

Uses

Gamakatsu’s C14S Glo-Bug Hooks are an excellent option for most egg patterns, and with a 2x strong construction and short shank hook, they’re great for large fish that require strong wire and an ultra-sharp point. And while these hooks are designed for eggs, due to their strong construction and holding power, they’re also quite popular with anglers who tie tiny saltwater baitfish for albacore, Spanish mackerel, and bonito. Whether you’re tying Glo-Bugs, Sucker Spawn, or Surf Candies, this is a hook that you can reliably take from Alaska to Lake Erie and everywhere in between.

Comparisons

While egg patterns are a common fly in most regions, not all hook companies make an egg-specific hook. However, Daiichi’s 1510 Glo-Bug Hooks are also intended for tying egg flies. Somewhat similar, the 1510 Glo-Bug Hooks have a 3x short shank, but they have a down-eye and come in a wider range of sizes (6-18). While both are great options, the C14S Glo-Bug Hooks tend to be a bit stronger and are a better choice for those who might encounter heavyweight fish.
