Pakula Dojo Light Hook

Pakula Light Gauge Hooks were introduced for tournament fishing where fish are fought and brought to the boat quickly, often in a minute or less.
Dealing with green fish to get hooks out is incredibly dangerous so we used 'light gauge hooks' that were strong enough to fight fish to the boat but would strighten when punched out after grabbing the leader.

Pakula Light Gauge hooks are designed to use on a fighting drag of 3 to 5 kg ie for use on 15kg line down to 4kg primarily targeting Sailfish and small Black Marlin.

If you are using line classes 15kg and over then you have the ability to set drags at 1/3rd the line class which is 5kg and over where there is no need to use light gauge Dojo Hooks, rather use our Heavy / Strong Gauge Hooks which will set just fine at a strike setting of 5kg and over.

If you do wish to follow the trend of using light gauge hooks on heavier tackle then we recommend you'll find that the angler and crew will have much more success if they are smooth on the rod and trace with as little jerking on the line and leader as possible
