The Gamakatsu Worm Hook Straight Shank Round Bend NSBlack Size 5/0 is a proven choice for anglers working with soft plastics and live bait. This 5-count pack gives you reliable hooks built to handle the demands of serious worm fishing, whether you're flipping thick plastics into cover or rigging finesse presentations on a spinning rod. Gamakatsu's reputation for sharp, consistent hooks is on full display here—these are the kind of tackle details that convert bites into landed fish.
The round bend design provides a wider gap and more bite than traditional offset patterns, which translates to better hook sets, especially when you're throwing bulkier soft-plastic offerings. The straight shank keeps rigging simple and predictable, giving your plastic a natural presentation without unnecessary twist or wobble. Keeper barbs molded into the shank help hold your bait or plastic firmly in place, so you're not re-rigging after every cast or two.
These hooks are finished in NSBlack—a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that holds up in freshwater and brackish conditions. Size 5/0 works well in the medium-to-heavy range, making it a versatile pick for bass anglers, pike fishermen, and anyone else who wants a hook that won't let them down when a serious fish is on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size soft plastics work best with a 5/0 worm hook?
A 5/0 is well-suited to medium and larger worms, crawfish, and creature baits in the 4- to 6-inch range. It's also a solid choice if you're throwing bulky presentations that benefit from the extra bite and holding power of a larger hook.
Will these hooks work for live bait as well as plastics?
Yes. The keeper barbs and straight shank design make these hooks effective for rigging live shiners, crawfish, or other natural baits. The round bend and bite help you maintain solid hook sets regardless of presentation style.
What does NSBlack finish mean?
NSBlack is Gamakatsu's proprietary black coating that resists corrosion and rust. It's durable in freshwater and light brackish environments, helping your hooks stay sharp and reliable throughout the season.
