G Finesse by Aaron Martens

G Finesse…A Ground-Breaking Achievement In Hook Design Gamakatsu entered the market on the promise of the sharpest hooks produced. It was Gamakatsu that created the “super sharp” hook category and continues to add new application-specific hooks to its offering every year.

"Over my entire career fishing Gamakatsu I envisioned making the best finesse hook in the world. Gamakatsu’s New G Finesse Series combine Ultra Sharp Tournament Grade Wire with Nano Smooth Technology for the ultimate in hook penetration. This new technology will take my finesse fishing to a whole new level". ~ Aaron Martens

G Finesse Heavy Cover Worm The new Aaron Martens Signature G Finesse Heavy Cover Worm hook does what others can’t. Extreme versatility. Martens says it best, “This hook let’s me do so much, easily the most versatile soft plastics hook on the market”. Featuring Aaron’s custom designed keeper that holds plastics tight for endless casts without rips or tears. The rock solid keeper is made of non-corrosive tin, not plastic or lead, so it won’t wear out or add unwanted weight. Like all G Finesse hooks, tournament grade wire and Nano Smooth Coat finish perfect the design. Available is sizes 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0.

G Finesse Treble Hook ... Thinner, Stronger, Sharper, Better. Gamakatsu continues to expand its ground-breaking G Finesse series hooks with the G Finesse Treble Hook. Designed by Tournament pro, Aaron Martens, the G Finesse Treble redefines “sharp” and “effective”.

Gamakatsu’s G Finesse Treble Hook is patterned after traditional O’Shaughnessy style hooks. Aaron has long been a proponent of the O’Shaughnessy hook style with its distinctive acute angle at the bottom of the hook. Martens believes the addition of the O’Shaughnessy bend, hooks and holds fish better than round bend designs. He should know, a past B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, had three second place finishes in Bassmaster’s Classics and is always in the hunt on the pro tours. When you fish as much as Aaron does, small details make a big difference. The G Finesse Treble Hooks is available in sizes 6,5,4,3,2, 1, 1/0. Nano Smooth Coat finish.

G Finesse Treble Hook MH Hook G Finesse for big, tough fish that live in the heaviest cover. Aaron Martens frequently chases them and he asked us for medium heavy G Finesse treble to meet those needs. We answered. The new G Finesse Treble MH features a tougher medium heavy, tournament grade wire for additional strength. The same Nano Smooth Coat finish and short shank promote instant hook penetration. Available in Sizes 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/0.

G Finesse Drop Shot Hook “I’ve increased my hook-up percentage by 40% ... I rarely miss a fish with this new drop shot hook. These are the sharpest, strongest, most advanced hooks of their kind on the market.”

Martens has been instrumental in the development of Gamakatsu’s new G Finesse Drop Shot Hook. Completely “pro-designed”, Gamakatsu’s new G Finesse series is a giant leap forward in fishing hook technology. “The new G Finesse Drop Shot Hook is like Gamakatsu’s standard Drop Shot Hook except that I had them pull the point more towards the eye to open up the gap. Also, the hook wire, called TGW (Tournament Grade Wire) is a smaller diameter, 20% thinner, but just as strong as their other hooks.” G amakatsu’s G Finesse Drop Shot Hooks are available in sizes, 2, 1, 1/0 and 2/0. Nano Smooth Coat finish.
