Gamakatsu Octopus 13107 - Size 6

These are authentic, "New Old Stock" (NOS) Gamakatsu 13107 hooks, featuring the iconic vintage blue label distributed by Sports Resources Company of Kent, WA. Produced in Japan during the late 1980s to early 1990s, these hooks represent the first wave of the "sticky sharp" revolution that changed the fishing industry forever.

The O'Shaughnessy Advantage

The O’Shaughnessy bend is legendary for its brute strength. Unlike standard round-bend hooks, the 13107 features a slightly flattened, forged bend designed to resist opening up under the heavy pressure of a trophy fish.

• Era: Late 80s / Early 90s Vintage Collector's Stock.
• Construction: High-carbon steel with a classic bronzed finish.
• Point: Early-generation chemically sharpened points for immediate penetration.
• Design: Ringed eye and heavy wire—perfect for high-stress applications.

Recommended Applications

These hooks are a premier choice for both fly tyers and traditional anglers:

• Fly Tying: The "gold standard" for Clouser Minnows, heavy bucktails, and predatory streamers.
• Saltwater/Freshwater: Ideal for bass, light inshore saltwater species, or any application where a Size 6 hook requires maximum structural integrity.
