It is a double hook — two points on a single shank, the standard hook form for hollow-body frogs and other weedless topwater baits — with two small blades hung behind it on a rolling swivel. Swapping it in for a plain double turns a silent bait into one that throws flash and pushes water on every twitch, without changing how the bait sits or how weedless it is. The rolling swivel matters more than it looks: it lets the blades turn freely on the retrieve and on the fall instead of binding up and putting twist into the leader. Supplied in #1 and #1\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the blades actually change.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two things. Flash, which gives a dark frog or a solid-colour soft plastic a moving highlight that fish can track from further away in stained or tannin water. And drag, which slows the sink rate and adds a small amount of lift, so a weighted bait falls flatter and hangs longer in the strike zone. That extra drag is the trade-off as well: casting distance drops slightly, and a blade will foul in thick surface weed where a bare double would slide through. Use it on open pads, edges and channels; keep plain doubles for the heaviest mats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble hook with two blades on a rolling swivel — a retrofit for frogs, topwater and soft plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlades add flash and water displacement to an otherwise silent bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling swivel lets the blades spin freely and keeps twist out of the leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade drag slows the fall and holds a weighted bait in the strike zone longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpened points on high-strength wire built to resist bending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrog hook swap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take the stock double out of a hollow-body frog and fit this one in its place, points up and following the body line.

Its forged body takes heavy drag pressure without opening, the chemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point uses angled cutting surfaces to enter with reduced resistance, and straight alignment sends the pulling force directly into the point for a positive set.

An open or split ring is coiled wire with two overlapping ends, and that seam is the weak part of the connection. Under a long straight pull from a big fish, an open ring can distort or be drawn apart. Braid and assist cord can also work into the gap, get pinched against the wire ends and chafe through. A welded ring removes all of that: nothing to open, no seam for PE to slip into, and a smooth continuous surface for cord or hardware to bear on.

Its point curves back in towards the shank instead of standing up parallel to it, so it cannot easily bury itself in whatever it is touching. Instead, as a fish takes the bait and swims off, the hook is dragged along until the shank catches on the corner of the jaw — only then does the point rotate in and lock. That single change produces the two things circle hooks are used for: a high hook-up rate on a bait a fish has genuinely eaten, and very few hooks swallowed down the throat, which matters enormously if you release fish. Here the heavy-duty forged body handles hard runs, the point is chemically sharpened and angled inward to resist shaking loose, and the solid ring eye gives a strong leader connection with free bait movement.

A kantuki profile answers both: no strike is needed, and when it seats, it seats where the jaw is bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2X-strong construction — thicker, high-tensile wire for pressure a standard Chinu hook would not take\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body for resistance to bending and opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Chinu bend with a wide working gap and a generous holding area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle Cutting point with angled cutting edges for penetration with less resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePronounced barb to hold bait and keep the hook engaged through runs and head shakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinged eye for a direct knot to leader or terminal rig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel (NSB) finish for corrosion and wear protection in salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet the fish turn — do not strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — When the rod loads, lean into it slowly and start winding.

That is the job this hook is built for: forged wire that will not open up when a fish is pulled out of a hole under maximum pressure. The chemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point uses angled cutting edges to get in fast, and the kirbed point — set slightly off the shank's centre line — turns into the jaw on angles where a straight point would slide past. The solid ringed eye lets a bait or assist cord swing freely while giving a connection stronger than a bent-over eye, and the black nickel finish resists rust in salt water.

The octopus profile is a short compact shank with a wide, deeply curved bend and an inturned beak point — a shape that hides inside a live or cut bait, presents a small silhouette a fish takes in one bite, and holds hard once it is in.

That is the whole idea. An octopus hook has a short, compact shank and a wide bend, which lets it sit almost invisibly inside a live bait and gives strong holding power once it is in. The problem is that the same compact shape gives you no leverage when a big fish clamps down or a hard-mouthed reef fish grinds on it, so on ordinary wire it opens. The 4X gauge, backed by a forged body, is what lets you fish a small, natural bait presentation and still put full drag on the fish that eats it. The point is chemically sharpened with an Eagle Cutting profile, and a pronounced barb keeps the hold. Black nickel finish resists corrosion and stays discreet underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe point is kirbed — offset slightly to one side of the shank — so it presents at an angle to the pull and finds purchase as the fish turns away with the bait.

It also runs one size larger, up to #6\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the hook ends up, and why that matters.\u003c\/strong\u003e A conventional hook buries in the first thing it touches, which on a swallowed bait is often the gullet or the gills. A fish hooked there bleeds, and releasing it rarely saves it. A circle hook cannot do that: the inward-facing point slides over soft tissue instead of catching in it, and only rotates and locks when the shank reaches the hinge of the jaw. The result is a hook in the corner of the mouth almost every time — out in seconds with pliers, no damage done, and a fish that swims off properly. It is why circle hooks have become the standard where fish go back, and it is worth having even if you keep your catch: a jaw-corner hold is also the hold that does not tear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCH-1 or CH-2?\u003c\/strong\u003e The offset point of the CH-2 raises hook-up rate and suits big and awkward baits. The inline CH-1 gives the lowest deep-hooking rate of the two, so use it where fish are released or where local rules specify a non-offset circle hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNautilus circle profile: wide rounded bend, inward-facing point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset point — set slightly to the side of the shank for positive engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged construction, reinforced against opening under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinged eye for line, leader and bait-rig connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-resistant black-nickel (NSB) finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes live bait, cut bait and soft plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix sizes, #1\/0 to #6\/0.

Flatted means the end is simply pressed flat, with no eye at all. Nothing sits above the shank, so the rig stays slim, the knot is compact and the pull runs straight down the wire into the point — made for fine line, roughly 2–8 lb mono or fluorocarbon, tied as a snell. A ringed eye, as on the 4762, trades that slimness for a connection that takes a heavier leader or a snap. The size spans differ too: the flatted 4797 runs #4 to #17, the ringed 4762 covers #6 to #15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnell it — a clinch knot will slip off\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lay the line down the inside face of the shank, whip six to eight turns toward the bend, pass the tag back through the loop and tighten.

The JK-3 is for baits that stretch out and fish that chew. A live prawn, a whole worm or a strip of cut fish lies straight along the long shank instead of balling around the bend, and the extra steel keeps a rasping mouth and a gill plate off your knot. Kirbed point plus long shank is a deliberate pair — a straight long-shank hook can slide out of the side of a mouth, and the offset is what stops it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKantuki geometry — shaped to find the hard jaw corner as the fish turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaruseigo profile: long shank, rounded bend, wide working gap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirbed (offset) point for engagement when a fish takes side-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point with angled cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged body and a pronounced barb — resists bending, and holds through head shakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazed ringed eye for knots, leaders and snelled bait rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel (NSB) finish for corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet it load, then wind\u003c\/strong\u003e — Do not strike at the first knock.

The JK-4's shank is short and its point inline, so pull runs straight from knot to point and a threaded bait sits dead straight instead of rotating in current — right for compact baits taken in one mouthful: peeled prawn, worm, shellfish, a cube of cut fish, on bottom and float rigs. The JK-3 Kantuki Maruseigo is the long-shank, kirbed-point version, built for baits that stretch out and for rasping jaws that would otherwise sit on your knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKantuki geometry — designed to seat in the hard jaw corner as the fish turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep iseama bend with a broad gap and a generous holding area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight inline point alignment for a direct pull and baits that sit straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body for resistance to bending and opening under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened Dead Cutting point profile for penetration and point durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazed closed ringed eye — no gap for a knot to slip into\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel (NSB) finish for corrosion and wear protection in salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLean on it, do not strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — When the rod loads, come up slowly and start winding.

A slim shank, a narrow gape and a straight point mean the hook slides in on a half-hearted take instead of being pushed aside. The SH-2 4762 is Hinotsu's ringed version — long shank, compact bend, forged body, hand-ground barbed point, and an inline point that lines up with the eye so the pull runs straight at the hook point. The black-nickel (NSB) finish makes it usable in salt as well as fresh water, which is unusual for a Sode hook.

A ringed eye is a closed loop, so it takes any ordinary knot — uni, Palomar or a snelled loop — and it will hold a heavier leader, typically 6–20 lb, plus a swivel or small snap for quick hook changes. That strength is why this is the model for brackish and coastal water, or wherever the fish may be a size bigger than expected. A flatted hook has no eye at all: the pressed end must be snelled, which keeps the rig slim on fine line but will not tolerate a thick leader. The spans differ too — the ringed 4762 covers #6 to #15, the flatted 4797 stretches from #4 out to #17.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnot direct to the ring\u003c\/strong\u003e — A uni or Palomar knot to fluorocarbon is enough.

The GH-2 (4912) is a Custom Twist design: the same family with a twisted point plane, so the point sits out of line with the shank and meets the mouth at an angle instead of head-on.

Twisting or kirbing the point moves it out of that plane: whichever way the prawn is oriented when the line comes tight, part of the point presents side-on and catches. The 95° turned-up eye supplies the other half — the line leaves almost at right angles to the shank, so the first pull rotates the hook rather than dragging it. The J-Type is the more forgiving all-rounder; the Custom Twist is what to reach for when prawns are picking baits clean and hook-ups are being missed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo profiles: 4911 GH-1 J-Type Custom design, 4912 GH-2 Custom Twist design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirbed point offset to the side for a positive hook-up regardless of bait orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95° turned-up eye that changes the pulling angle and helps the hook rotate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinged and brazed eye — secure connection with freedom of movement for the bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel finish for rust and wear protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight sizes per model, #6 to #2\/0, fifteen pieces per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnot direct, short trace\u003c\/strong\u003e — A uni knot to 4–8 lb fluorocarbon, trace no longer than 15–20 cm.

Single hooks are a condition of fishing at those venues, and because the fish go back, fine wire and no barb matter as much as sharpness.

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. A barb must be pushed through tissue before a hook seats; without one, fine wire buries on contact. That suits 2–4 lb line, where little force is available, and lets a fish go back undamaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised eye also keeps the hook point-up in the cup of the spoon rather than lying against the blade, so it works vertically as well as on the retrieve.

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.
