For bass fishing, Gamakatsu's NS Black and Red color hooks are ideal for nose hooking soft plastic baits like Roboworms and small Gitzits.
For walleye, trout, and kokanee fishing, Gamakatsu offers Split Shot/Drop Shot Hooks in fluorescent colors. The light wire hooks are forged and perfect for finesse techniques. The bright hues of pink, orange, red, and chartreuse provide added attraction to draw reaction strikes and lure fish from greater distances, especially in stained water.
