We identify a phase transition in the vortex system of a high-temperature superconductor with nano-columnar stacks of precipitates as strong vortex pinning centers. Above a particular, temperature-dependent field $B_X(T)$ the vortex response is no longer determined by the nano-columns, and is instead determined by point-like pinning. This phase transition leads to the change in the measured critical current density as a function of angle between the applied magnetic field and the nano-columns. Below the unbinding, there is a strong maximum in $J_C$ when field is aligned parallel to the columns. Above the unbinding, there is a minimum for this orientation.
