The Gamakatsu Worm hooks, Skip Gap, are designed for anglers who require precision and reliability when fishing in challenging conditions. These hooks are particularly effective for the technique known as “skipping,” where baits are cast to skim across the water's surface to reach areas under docks, low-hanging trees, or other cover. The unique design of the Skip Gap hook ensures that your soft plastic baits remain securely in place, preventing them from sliding down the hook shank after a forceful cast or when being pulled through the water.
To use the Skip Gap, a fisherman would employ the Texas rig method. This involves threading the bait onto the hook and concealing the hook point within the bait to make it weedless—a technique that's ideal for fishing in areas with heavy cover. The wide gap of the hook is engineered to improve hook-up ratios, providing a more effective penetration and a stronger hold once the fish is hooked.
