One-piece solid rings make connections easy. Rigged with 270 (5/0, 6/0 sizes) and 400 (7/0, 8/0 sizes) lb. test polyethylene cord. Available in 6/0 to 8/0 in packs of one. 1 pc per pack Corrosion-proof tin Attaches through jig eye or ring Super-strong braided line loop attaches to any jig Obverse barb ensures a solid hookup and won't nick leader

Field Notes

Use this as a heavy-duty assist hook for rigging offshore jigs when targeting large saltwater fish with hard mouths and sharp teeth. It attaches through a jig eye or ring and is meant for vertical jigging or other jig presentations where a strong hookup is critical.

Pros

  • Heavy-duty construction for big offshore fish
  • Ringed design makes jig attachment easy
  • Corrosion-resistant finish

Cons

  • Single hook only, so it offers less holding power than a treble setup
  • Best suited to jigging applications rather than general-purpose rigging
