Description
xElevated strength for reliable dry fly presentations
The Gamakatsu C13U Keel Balance Tackle is crafted from premium high carbon steel. This material choice helps resist blemishes and maintain integrity in demanding conditions. Through an advanced tempering process and oil cooling, the hook achieves a thoughtful balance of strength and flexible resilience.
From the moment you open the package, you’ll notice a conical, needle-sharp point designed to perform consistently. This model is sized for size 16 hooks and is available in a 100-pack, finished in a matte black that reduces glare and helps you stay focused on the drift and strike zone.
