The Gamakatsu Skip Gap NSB Hook features a unique, patent-pending shank bend that eliminates soft plastics sliding down during aggressive skipping casts under docks. Finished in non-reflective Nickel-Silver Black (NSB), it secures Texas-rigged baits firmly without special rigging or glue. Design & Performance Features Skip Gap Shank: An specialized offset bend creates opposing tension on soft plastics, locking the bait head securely in place. NSB Finish: Nickel-silver black coating reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance in fresh and saltwater environments. Wide Gap Design: Accommodates bulkier profile baits, including tubes, creature baits, and thick stick worms. No Special Rigging: Standard Texas-rig setup allows for quick, natural application out of the package. Applications & Specifications Primary Use: Skipping soft plastics under boat docks, overhanging trees, and tight shoreline cover. Techniques: Ideal for Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, and topwater buzz frogs. Available Sizes: Ranging from 1/0 up to 5/0, packaged in quantities of 5 to 6 hooks per pack depending on the specific size
