Description

Equipped with a step wire assist system that focuses on sharp-toothed targets such as Spanish mackerel and striped bonito, and can be hung securely without trouble. For the wire, 49 twisted SUS304 wires are used, which have tension and flexibility that do not interfere with the series of flow from bite to hooking, and strength that can not be cut even by large hairtails and Spanish mackerels. For the hook, use "Pike AS-03" that shows smooth and quick hooking, and set it on the step. This step corresponds to the "biting atari" peculiar to hairtail and increases the hooking rate. It can be used not only as a front hook but also as a rear hook. #1 - [2 pieces per pack] #1/0 - [2 pieces per pack] #2/0 - [2 pieces per pack] #3/0 - [2 pieces per pack]

Field Notes

This is an assist hook system for offshore jigging, especially for toothy pelagic fish like Spanish mackerel, striped bonito, and hairtail. Use it on the front or rear of a jig when you want better hookup rates and added bite resistance from the wire assist leader. It is suited to situations where fish slash at the lure or where abrasion and cut-offs are a concern.

Pros

  • 49-strand SUS304 wire adds strength and flexibility
  • Designed for toothy fish and hard bites
  • Can be used as front or rear assist hook
  • Improved hook-up rate with stepped hook placement

Cons

  • Not a lure by itself
  • Wire assist system may be overkill for non-toothy species
  • Requires matching jig and rigging knowledge
