Gamakatsu G-Lock hook.....

[FishTank]

Just thought I would share a good idea.

I tried a G-Lock 4/0 hook based on a friends recommendation and I found it to be a perfect fit for Fat Ikas.  It was as if it were made just for this bait.  It has a wider bend and the tip of the hook curves down slightly to hold the Ika perfectly.  If you fish the Ika, I would highly recommend giving this hook a try.

I've been using G-Locks for some time on my large soft plastics and have had excellent hook-up ratios.

I have mentioned G-Locks on this site before. I have been using them for flipping 4" & 5" tubes for a while now. They are great for this and I use them on the Fat Ika's as well. They stay on so well if you are flipping trash like wood and spatterdock. I am a fan.   :)

Would one of you guys be able to post a picture showing the way you rig you fat ika's with this hook?  I have some of the G-Lok hooks but I'm not sure the best way to rig the hook in them.

thanks for the tip.

They are Great hooks and hold the bait well.

You can rig the Ikas either tail first or head first, both ways work

Thanks for the tip. I've been looking at those, just haven't bought any yet. I was thinking they looked like good hooks for tubes.

Cheers,

also the best hook I've found for holding horny toads in place when retrieving.  I don't like using screw hooks because the frog is bulky and I'd rather it slide up the line when hit..and the G-lock makes it possible for me to achieve this.  It holds perfectly but as soon as the bait is nailed, its released up the line and the hook isn't impeded.
