Gamakatsu Swivel Shot/Octopus Black

The Gamakatsu Swivel Shot Hook is a revolutionary hook/swivel combination designed to resist line twist that often occurs when employing the drop shot technique. The Swivel Shot, from Gamakatsu Hooks, is built around a rotating swivel that allows free movement of the soft plastic bait and weight while sinking; this ability eliminates the cause of line twist present with the drop shot technique.

Drop-shot fishing for bass is nothing new but Gamakatsu’s approach to it is. Their all-new Swivel Shot eliminates line twist that’s commonly associated with drop shotting and vastly improves rigging efficiency. Gamakatsu’s produced a revolutionary new “Twist Free” design using a premium swivel above the hook.

The hook, a super-sharp Gamakatsu offset point Octopus hook, is strong enough to winch big bass out of slop — another unique attribute of their Swivel Shot system. The Easy-Change weight system below the hook improves rigging efficiency and easy leader length adjustments without retying your rig. FLW Pro Shinichi Fukae was instrumental in the development and testing of Gamakatsu’s Swivel Shot and shared that it has been an essential element in his tournament success.Without a doubt, the Swivel Shot is an enormous leap forward in drop shot fishing that’s sure to maximize angler’s efficiency, increase hook-ups and land trophy-sized bass without the worry posed by conventional drop shot hooks and rigging. We offer the Gamakatsu Swivel Shot Hooks in five sizes: 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 all hooks feature the black nickel finish.
