No. The vast majority of hard and similar predator fish will only eat live foods, specifically fish, no exceptions. My silver gar would ONLY eat rosy reds back in the day.
I'd say they probably could eat them, depending on brand they're mostly fish meal from the looks of it.
The question really should be "Will longnose gars eat koi pellets?" Sounds from the issues you're having getting it to eat other more attractive foods the answer probably is No. There are other pellets that probably would be better though.

Agreed.The gar could eat those pellets if it wanted to but they probably are of little good for it.If you are going to try and train your gar onto pellets then it would be better to use a pellet designed to address the dietary needs of the fish.
