Overview
The Gamakatsu Finesse Heavy Cover Hook delivers all the attributes of the original Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Hook - now with a medium wire construction. Perfect for throwing Roboworms and other soft plastic baits on 8-12lb line. Gamakatsu worked with their top bass pro’s to design the improved bait keeper. Instead of a bulky heat shrink barb, it features a small wire keeper. The keeper has a small compact profile, and is strategically placed for superior holding power and consistently straight rigging. It also comes equipped with a welded line eye. Available in a range of sizes, the Gamakatsu Finesse Heavy Cover Hook delivers the sticky sharp performance and application specific engineering that has consistently made Gamakatsu an industry leader.

Comments: Unbelievable hook! I've been using Trokar, but no more. My hook-up percentage has increased dramatically and the hook is imbedded in the top of the mouth EVERY time. Strong advocate of maximizing this hook using a simple snell knot. I use the 3/0 and 4/0 flipping with creature baits on 20# line. Tons of confidence.

Comments: Love this hook. I pitch with the 3/0 all the dang time. Reliable and strong. The grey color is cool, too.

Comments: This is a deadly hook for flipping with fluorocarbon line. 2/0 for 3 inch baits and 3/0 for 4 inch baits. It penetrates so fast and keeps them pinned every time. I don't even mind the higher price or the keeper coming out of place because I have so much confidence the fish is coming in the boat.

Comments: these and the heavy cover version are the best hooks i have ever used. the point holds up, they don't straiten out, the keeper doesn't destroy the bait after every fish or if just taking the bait off to change color, you can snell them, and most importantly they hook the fish! if you are still using offset shank hooks for texas rigs do yourself a favor and try a straight shank. you will be pleasantly surprised.

Comments: The 1/0 is perfect for flipping Zoom speed craws. Typical Gami quality.

Comments: Tired of straightening out the so called strong hooks? Try these. You WILL NOT straighten this beast out and you will be happy. They hold the bait so well too.
