Gamakatsu Nano Alpha

[Glenn]

Same price, same quality hooks we’ve all used, same sharp points, and now with the added coating, we have better hook penetration, and 4x the corrosion resistance.

Higher hookup ratios? Sign me up !

I would love to see more Gammy hook styles adopt this new hook / coating technology !

I'd be interested in this if they apply it to the Wide Gap Finesse hook, would definitely pick up a pack to try in such a case.

I suspect you're going to see a wide variety of their hooks offered with it before long. It's already offered in several different varieties in the JDM market, just hasn't hit the domestic market yet.

All of my “regular” diameter worm hooks are Gamakatsu. They are what I believe in. I definitely don’t think the nano coating will hurt anything.

@LrgmouthShad they’re the same price as the “regular” hooks and you don’t have to worry about them rusting. 
 

Win win!

Yup. Think "hover rig", "football jig", and more. And yes, I bought them while I was in Japan (so did all the other U.S. Gamakatsu employees I was with).

 

Nano Alpha hooks have been available in Japan for years, and they're HUGELY popular.

 

They're coming....

After fishing the worm hooks, I sure hope it's sooner rather than later 🙏

Uummm... They have them for sale on Tackle Warehouse, Blue. I've got some 4/0 & 5/0 EWG's on the way.

Yes, the worm hooks have, I'm talking about hooks like trebles, jig hooks, and dropshot hooks.

[Bluebasser86]

I pointed it out before, but prefishing on Friday they were on a Texas rig bite, and it was every, single fish.

Every time, that hook point was blowing through, despite me being in a kayak, in windy conditions, didn't matter. It's a huge confidence boost knowing the hook is going to stick them. The only downside, I stuck a couple I tried to shake off because the hook was digging in so easy 😅

These hooks just flat out work!
