The AH-3 is drawn around the plug. Area trout anglers carry micro minnows for the sessions when a wound spoon stops working, and those lures need a hook that hangs correctly rather than swinging into the body — hence the vertical eye. The wide gape is the working part: a stocked rainbow inspecting a micro plug often does no more than nudge it, and width turns that contact into a hold. The barb is Katsuichi’s Magic Barbless — nothing to force through tissue, so the point buries on the pressure 2–4 lb line delivers, while the form still resists shaking loose.

The eye is set roughly 15° higher than a conventional hook, the point sits in a specific position relative to it, the gape has its own shape, and there is no barb — so the force you apply travels into the point with nothing lost.

Where the AH-1 Type I is a conventional round-bend area hook, the Kunai is deliberately angular — named after the narrow, straight-edged blade of the same name.

The wire is flat-forged to raise hardness to its limit and finished in NS Black, which lets the point bite on very little tension. A straight section cannot slide out of a hold the way a curve can, so once the point is in it resists working loose. That combination is aimed at one situation: blind spooning near the bottom for the larger trout that cruise where the water temperature is stable, on fine tackle and light line where a firm strike is not available. The fish loads the rod, the hook sets itself. Three sizes — #4, #6 and #8 — ten per pack.

Single hooks are the rule there, and they need to be fine, sharp and barbless or micro-barbed. Decoy's Area Hook series is Katsuichi's range for it, each pattern aimed at a different way of fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AH-7 is the front-set specialist. In vertical fishing the spoon is dropped and lifted under the rod tip rather than wound back, the bite is read on the line, and the hook sits on the front ring instead of the tail. Katsuichi analysed the hooking mechanism for that setting and built a hook that stands up in the cup of the spoon: a slightly small up-eye holds the point upward and keeps clearance minimal, so it cannot swing round and foul the blade. To keep that position identical across the range, every size shares one gape width and only the shank length changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire is a touch thicker than the rest of the series, because vertical fishing on PE is a \u003cem\u003ekake\u003c\/em\u003e style rather than a \u003cem\u003enose\u003c\/em\u003e style. Japanese anglers separate the two: with a nose hook (ノセ) you keep winding and let the fish load the rod onto the point; with a kake hook (掛け) you feel the bite and set it yourself. PE has no stretch, so the strike lands at full force and the hook has to take it.

The AS-03 Pike is Katsuichi's light jigging assist hook — a bare single hook, sold loose, that anglers tie into their own assist rigs. The AS-03P ProPack is the same hook in a bulk carton for people who build assist hooks in batches rather than buying them ready-made. The maker's own summary of the design: specifically for light jigging with light tackle, shore or offshore; a thin wire with a wide gape that still holds shape thanks to CF processing at the stress points; and tin plating with Aqua Block treatment for corrosion resistance. It is sold here in #1 and #1\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these are loose hooks and not finished rigs, the ProPack is for anglers who already tie assists — hollow braid or Kevlar cord, a solid ring, a shrink tube over the knot. If you want a hook that arrives ready to clip on, a made-up rig such as the DJ-90 Light Assist or DJ-93 Light Game Twin is the simpler purchase.

The DJ-100 Grand Pike is the heavy end of that family: a single-type assist rig built not on the standard Pike AS-03 but on the Pike Type-R, the power version of the same shape. The Type-R keeps the AS-03 geometry that made the pattern a standard in light jigging — fast penetration, wide gape, holding power — but raises the wire diameter, adds a reinforced flat-pressed bend, and uses a calculated up-eye angle so the assist line pulls the point into the fish.

Sizes #1 to #3\/0, aimed at inshore jigging, use a braided assist line.

The DJ-79 Long Pike is the single-hook, long-tether member of that family: one Pike AS-03 tied onto Katsuichi's original Reflection Braid Line, set deliberately longer than a standard assist. The same braid is used on the Middle Pike DJ-78, and its particular suppleness is what lets the fine, light AS-03 hook move freely rather than being held rigid against the jig. Lengthening the tether does three things at once — it raises hook-up rates because the hook can swing round into a mouth, it holds the fish more securely once hooked, and it slightly reduces snagging because the point trails behind the jig instead of leading it. That combination makes it the Pike rig to reach for with long-profile jigs and with slow jigging for bottom-dwelling fish. Tin finish with Aqua Block treatment, supplied here in #1\/0 and #4\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Decoy's Pike ladder the DJ-79 is the long single.

The DJ-89 Tachi Pike is the member of the Pike assist family built for that fish and for the other sharp-toothed species alongside it, such as Spanish mackerel (sawara) and frigate mackerel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cutlassfish presents two problems no ordinary assist rig solves. The first is that it cuts: teeth that shear through braid will part a standard assist cord in one bite. The DJ-89 answers this with a 49-strand SUS304 stainless steel wire assist in place of braid — enough strands to stay supple and let the jig move naturally, but with the strength to survive a large cutlassfish or a sawara closing on it. The second problem is the body shape: a long, slender fish that bites at a jig rather than engulfing it rarely presents its jaw where a single fixed hook waits. The answer is the stepped wire system — the hooks are set at different distances along the wire rather than side by side, so a bite anywhere along the jig meets a point. The hooks are Pike AS-03, chosen for fast, low-force penetration, and the rig runs at the nose or the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Pike range the DJ-89 is the toothy-fish specialist.

The hook is a fine wire pattern that penetrates without needing a hard strike, which matters when the rod is light and the line is thin. It is mounted on an outward-facing, stepped assist system: the points face away from the jig body and sit at different heights, so a fish swiping at the head of a small jig meets a point rather than a flat shank. The connection between the assist cord and the split ring runs through a solid oval ring with no weld, which removes the slack that normally sits in a light assist and lets the hook set on the first pull.

Two design points make it work at that size. The shank is short and the eye is vertical, so the hook sits tight against a jig body that is only a few centimetres long instead of hanging awkwardly off it.

The eye is back-shifted and wide, so the assist cord pulls from behind the shank and rotates the point in rather than dragging it out sideways, and the point carries a gentle twist that finds a hold instead of skating across bone.

Pencils and poppers worked for nearshore tuna and hiramasa put loads through a hook that little else in lure fishing matches, and more and more fisheries now require single hooks only, either by regulation or by boat rule. The JS-5 answers both at once — it complies where trebles are banned, and it is built to survive the fight that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo details separate it from a converted jigging hook. The eye is in-line (vertical), matching the orientation of a plug's own split-ring eyes so the hook hangs correctly under the lure instead of cocking sideways. And it is soldered closed — wide enough for a heavy split ring, streamlined enough not to foul. That matters: an open or wire-formed eye usually forces two rings in series, and every extra ring is another point of power loss and another missed hook-set. Here you go straight from the lure ring to the hook. The bend is reformed for casting rather than vertical work, to penetrate and then hold a hard blue-water jaw.

That matters most in two situations — clear, bright water where a fish has time to inspect what it is looking at, and low-activity conditions where a static bait alone is not enough to draw a committed take.

Two design choices define it. The round bend keeps the gap open and evenly curved, so the point turns in and finds purchase from almost any angle of pull rather than needing a particular hookset. The fine wire does two jobs at once: it weighs very little, so a small worm keeps the movement it has instead of being anchored by the hook, and it penetrates on light force, which is what a finesse rod and thin line can actually deliver. That combination makes it a hook for natural presentation — long pauses, slack-line falls and small baits worked slowly — rather than for hauling fish out of heavy cover. It is supplied in Black Nickel across five sizes from #2 up to #3\/0, so the same pattern covers small worms on light rigs and larger soft plastics on movable jig heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound bend for consistent hook-up angles and improved bait movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine wire that penetrates under light hookset force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow hook weight so small soft plastics keep their natural action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, durable Japanese-made point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to finesse rigs and to movable or free-sliding jig heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsable in fresh water and in light saltwater work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Nickel finish; five sizes from #2 to #3\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose-hook a soft plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pass the point through the very front of the worm, in one side and out the other, so the body hangs free.

A circle works by geometry: the point turns back toward the shank rather than standing parallel to it, so it will not drive into whatever it touches. Under steady pull it slides until the shank reaches the jaw hinge, then rotates and takes hold there, from the outside in. Most circles are heavy bottom-fishing tools; this is a sharp, fine-wire circle for bait and live-bait work on light tackle. Thin wire penetrates on the modest, steady load that fine line and a light drag can apply, where a thick-wire circle would be dragged out. It leaves a smaller wound and lets a live bait swim instead of being anchored by hardware.

Start winding and keep winding, letting the fish's own movement load the hook until the rod bends into it. A reflex lift pulls a circle straight out of an open mouth, which is why anglers new to circles miss everything for a session. On light wire it costs more: a hard swing on 4 lb line breaks off or straightens the hook.

The round bent form works across a wide spread of lure eye types, from 8-pin eyes through to screw (heaton) eyes, and seats smoothly on the deep-set eyes of long-bill minnows that conventional snaps struggle with.

The pattern uses a vertical (in-line) eye so it hangs correctly under a plug, a wide eye that leaves room for a split ring without jamming, a round wide gape that finds a hold with most lure types, and a micro barb that leaves little trace and can be pinched down almost invisibly.

It is the hook supplied as standard on the Flash Bomb, Katsuichi's chinu jig, and that origin explains the whole design. Black sea bream (chinu) and flathead have hard, bony jaws, so the pattern uses a round wide gape that makes contact quickly and drives home even on a sweeping hookset rather than a hard strike. Chinu jigs are usually worked over oyster beds and shell bottom, where points blunt fast, which is why this is sold separately as a spare. A micro barb keeps penetration easy, the wide eye leaves room for a split ring, and the NS Black finish keeps the rig quiet for a wary fish.

Converting those from treble to single is standard practice wherever fish are released or regulations require it, and a single also fouls weed, net and bottom far less often. Where Katsuichi's Single30 Spoonin' is a dedicated hook for 1–7 g spoons, the Single31 is the larger, longer, more general pattern: it steps up from trout tackle into light and medium salt water, and it doubles as a replacement hook on soft jig heads and as a trailer hook behind a football jig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape follows the job. A long taper into a straight point penetrates sharply and smoothly, which matters on a single hook where one point does all the work. The eye is wide, so a split ring goes on without a fight and the hook swings freely on it.

The Single31OP does not: the eye is wide and left open, so it goes straight onto the lure's own eye or onto an existing ring without split-ring pliers and without dismantling anything.

Pinch it closed after fitting and check it after a hard fight or a snag: an eye sprung open under load can let the hook walk off.

Nothing is levered apart, so the wire is not fatigued by hundreds of open-and-shut cycles the way a conventional snap is; and it works with numb fingers, which is why Katsuichi point at cold-weather fishing such as area trout and rockfish (mebaru), where a stiff gate costs real fishing time.

It is built on a heavier-gauge wire than the standard rings, and Katsuichi rates it at roughly 50% stronger than the equivalent normal-type ring. The plus notation (#1+ to #6+) marks that upgrade — a #3+ keeps a similar footprint to a standard #3 but carries more wire. That matters where the ring is the weak point of an otherwise heavy chain: GT and tuna casting, deep and slow-pitch jigging, large stickbaits, and heavy freshwater work. The wire uses an inner-cut structure so hooks and solid rings still slide on cleanly despite the heavier gauge, and the silver finish is anti-corrosion treated for saltwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-strong (EX) split ring — the heaviest step in the Decoy R-series ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge wire rated by Katsuichi at approximately 50% stronger than the standard type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner-cut structure so hooks and solid rings still attach cleanly on thick wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact footprint for the strength, so lure balance is largely preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-corrosion silver finish for saltwater and heavy freshwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix sizes, #1+ to #6+, covering upgraded light-tackle plugs through to GT hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Katsuichi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull stickbait and popper upgrade\u003c\/strong\u003e — Strip the factory rings off large casting lures and rebuild with EX rings sized to the trebles you intend to run.
