Imakatsu Genuine Hook

IMAKATSU Genuine Hook is a replacement treble hook developed with an emphasis on matching the hooks originally installed on IMAKATSU lures. Using the genuine size specified for each lure helps preserve the lure’s original characteristics after a hook replacement and makes it easier to achieve the performance intended in its design. This is especially important for suspending models, where hook size and weight affect buoyancy settings, allowing the lure to be used with the balance unique to the genuine hook.

The lineup includes #4, #4 Heavy Wire, #6, #6 Heavy Wire, #8, #10, and #10 Crystal Flash sizes. In addition to standard-wire models, heavy-wire models are also available, allowing you to choose according to the lure being fitted and the conditions of use. The lures compatible with each size are listed on the front of the package, making it easy to confirm the correct size when replacing hooks. When replacing a lure’s hooks, choosing based on the genuine size originally installed helps minimize changes to the lure’s action and buoyancy balance during setup.
