Rebarb

Roboworm Gamakatsu ReBarb Worm Hooks are built around a single defining feature: a plastic barb on the shank that prevents the worm from sliding down the hook after the cast. Cast after cast, the worm stays in the perfect position on the hook — no re-rigging, no worm bunching at the bend. The thin wire gauge sets the hook easily on light line, and the barb and bend geometry keep fish on the hook through the fight. Effective for plastic worms and live worms on Carolina rigs, weedless drop shots, Texas rigs, and more. Available in Aberdeen, Light Wire, and Medium Wire styles across 9 size options.

Key Features

• Plastic Barb on the Shank — Prevents Worm Slip — The ReBarb’s defining feature is a small plastic barb positioned on the shank that grips the worm and prevents it from sliding down toward the bend during the cast and retrieve; the barb keeps the worm in the correct rigging position cast after cast, eliminating the need to re-rig after every few casts; works with both soft plastic worms and live worms.
• Thin Wire Gauge — Easy Hooksets on Light Line — The light and medium wire options are designed for finesse applications where thin wire is needed for easy hooksets on light fluorocarbon and monofilament line; the thin wire penetrates the fish’s mouth more easily than a heavy wire hook on the same hookset force, making it ideal for drop shot, shaky head, and finesse Texas rig applications where light line is standard.
• Barb & Bend Geometry — Keeps Fish On — The hook’s barb and bend geometry are designed to keep fish on the hook through the fight; the barb prevents the hook from backing out during head shakes and the bend geometry maintains consistent hook pressure throughout the fight.
• Gamakatsu Quality — Needle-Sharp Out of the Pack — Made by Gamakatsu, known for needle-sharp hooks that penetrate easily and maintain their edge through extended use.

Size & Wire Selection Guide

Best For

• Weedless Drop Shot — The ReBarb’s plastic barb keeps the worm in the correct nose-hook or wacky-hook position on the drop shot rig cast after cast; use Size 1 or Size 2 Light Wire for finesse drop shot applications on 6–8 lb fluorocarbon.
• Texas Rig — The plastic barb keeps the worm from sliding down the shank during the cast and retrieve through heavy cover; use Medium Wire sizes (1/0–4/0) matched to the worm size for standard Texas rig applications.
• Carolina Rig — Effective on a Carolina rig where the worm is exposed on a long leader; the plastic barb keeps the worm in position during the long cast required for Carolina rig fishing; use Medium Wire sizes matched to the worm size.
• Live Worm Fishing — The Aberdeen style sizes (Size 2 and Size 4) are ideal for live worm fishing; the Aberdeen bend allows the worm to move naturally while the plastic barb keeps it from sliding down the shank.
