Gamakatsu SS15 Saltwater Tin Plated

The Gamakatsu SS15 Saltwater Hook (Tin Plated) is a premium saltwater fly hook designed for durability, strength, and corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments. Built with forged high-carbon steel and finished in a bright tin plating, it offers superior protection against rust and saltwater damage. The SS15 features a short-shank, wide-gap design with a straight eye, making it an excellent choice for tying a wide range of saltwater patterns that require both strength and sharpness. Like all Gamakatsu hooks, it has an ultra-sharp chemically sharpened point for fast penetration and secure hook sets, even on tough-mouthed species.

This hook is widely used for:

• Shrimp and crab patterns (perfect for bonefish and permit)

• Small baitfish imitations (glass minnows, silversides, anchovies, peanut bunker)

• Deceivers and Clousers in smaller sizes

• General flats flies for bonefish, redfish, snook, and seatrout

The tin finish makes it especially well-suited for tropical saltwater fly fishing, where humidity and salt exposure quickly corrode unprotected hooks.
