Gamakatsu’s New Power Drop Series

Gamakatsu’s New Power Drop Series
Tacoma, Washington (July 19, 2022) – Gamakatsu®, the industry leader in fresh and saltwater hooks and terminal tackle, introduces their new ingenious Power Drop series. The Power Drop is perfectly engineered to keep a variety of baits just off the bottom and flawlessly performs as they move naturally in and out of cover.

The Power Drop series is uniquely built around a solid ring that connects the premium hook, swivel and a 3.5-inch dropper wire. The Power Drop series design results in the bait presented naturally just above the bottom, allowing perfect strike and hooksets on predator fish.

Once the lure is down, anglers will fish it just as they would a basic Texas rig, jig, or punch bait. Using the dropper wire at full length keeps bait above mud and silt. If anglers want to hug the bottom even more, simply shorten the stealthy, black-finish dropper wire. Size the weight to fishing conditions and style technique to keep baits in the ideal position. For added commotion to fire up fish, try adding two weights to the wire for increased noise and attraction. Three different models are available, each featuring a different premium Gamakatsu hook. The premium Gamakatsu swivel completes each rig to prevent line twists.

The Superline EWG is considered the gold standard in high-performance wide-gap hook designs; this option features our Superline EWG 744XX series hooks. The Superline Offset Round option offers a larger bite area that’s perfect for any worm presentation. It features the Superline Round Bend 3984XX series hooks. The G-Finesse Hybrid Worm’s unique feature here is the distinctive acute hook angle, designed to align baits perfectly. It features the G-Finesse Hybrid Worm 3622XX series hooks.
