You can certainly purchase them from us at: www.anglerinnovations.com. We will be communicating with Holiday Sports and Yeagers soon. Many pros that I didn't know use them are giving us great field reports!

1/29/2020 9:52:25 AMSteve, I have been fishing these trophy Kokanee for over 10 years and have been very successful catching them constantly on red and pink octopus Gamakatsu hooks, in pink hoochies and especially behind the 2.44 pink old goat fished all by itself, and soak my shoepeg corn in Krill dipping sauce, I can understand wanting to sell these special Maruto hooks but you really don't have to use them to catch Trophy Kokanee out of Roosevelt, already have enough lures and different types of hooks and scents that are constantly successful.

My feeling about fishing is that it is about having fun. If you are satisfied with your technique, then there is no need to change what you are doing. My interest is in making the experience better. One could easily say that your Old Goat is unnecessary too, why did you even start using it? I have no issues with Gamakatsu or Old Goat. All I can tell you is that I liked the hook color and its design. My pro-staff love it and feel that the hook as the color have enhanced their catch. These are pros.

1/30/2020 10:09:18 AMI am no expert by any means and would be the first to say so, just a fishermen who loves to fish and has alot of fun doing it and enjoying the rewards of good company and friends. Techniques change constantly over time, I can remember in the late 70s casting yellow and white crappie jigs over surfacing Kokanee schools down from the Spring Canyon launch on Roosevelt, and catching these trophy Kokanee that way, then using Mack's wedding rings with a white glow fly and a 000 dodger tipped with maggots and white shoepeg corn and catching them that way, then came the K Fly in florescent red and gold tensile, then, the pink squid and dodger and have even caught them on #5 broken back Rapala in gold and florescent orange, have read alot of fishing reports, anyone remember reading the Outdoor Press which came every Friday just in time for the weekend, always looked forward to that. Steve, meant no disrespect and sorry if you saw it that way, it just seems like it never ends, different techniques that is. Well enough said, Tight Lines and Keep Reelin!
