In recent years, there have been many cases where a slower approach and delicate plug operation that does not cause splashing are required for nervous Kingfish. The bondage hook, which is a single hook rigged with soft material, has less of the unpleasant slap sound that hits the body like a treble hook and it is difficult to create an anchor effect, so it does not impair the original action of the lure. In addition, it is possible to suppress water absorption due to hook scratches on the body, which is fatal for high-specific gravity plugs with good response.
The hook is an SJ-41TN by OWNER. It features a needle tip that is easy to hook up quickly, stable hold, reduced looseness after
hooking, and durability that can withstand high-load fights.
A wire ring that is optimal for installation is used, and it is easy to adapt to each size of the plug and easy to balance the lure.
Sea hunters are used as assist materials.
Moderate suppleness and elongation follow the movement of the fish and have a great effect on reducing the number of looses.
In particular, when using a small plug, it is possible to attach a hook that is large for the size of the plug, so that you can fight with confidence even if you are hit by
an unexpected large fish.
