Tacoma, Washington (December 8, 2020) Gamakatsu introduces two exciting new jig hook designs with specific and intentional design elements, along with a new color addition to the existing Jig 60 Round Bend. As with all Gamakatsu hooks, the hooks are constructed with the sharpest points in the industry, continuing the trend of earning trust amongst anglers by penetrating and landing more fish.

The Jig 60 Round Bend hook delivers in terms of both simplicity and function for anglers. The 60-degree round bend design makes this a go-to jig hook for flipping and pitching. The bite area is fantastic, helping anglers connect on difficult hooksets. This model is a trusted favorite for amateur and professional anglers seeking a versatile and practical jig hook in a traditional design. The Jig 60 Round Bend is now available in the popular NS Black (Nickel Silver Black) color adding more versatility to your jigs.

The Jig 90 Big River will quickly become a staple for anglers desiring a versatile jig hook capable of performing in different environments and for a variety of species. The large gap and acute bend offer great holding power, locking fish in place when hooked. Anglers can now stick fish and put the wood to them with confidence. This unique design comes in a wide range of sizes for fisherman, targeting salmon, steelhead and walleye.

In the saltwater world, few jig hooks are built to withstand the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. Hard strikes and wild runs from species like striped bass will test the strength of any hook. The Jig 90 Salty HD is specially made with a round bend and heavy wire that can hold form against the toughest fish out there. The hook has a Go Big or Go Home attitude and an O'Shaughnessy bend for hard hook sets.

Gamakatsu specialty jig hooks are designed with input from customers and world-class anglers. The hooks utilize the sharpest points and most durable materials on the market. Great anglers require perfect hooks, and Gamakatsu's special jig hooks set the standard for high performance.
