The hook is designed solely for assist work and optimised for PE line. The root line is a red compound braid with a smooth resin coating against abrasion where the cord bears on the ring, and the knot is reinforced with a red protective tube — the two places an assist rig normally fails. Gold with Aqua Block coating, in #M, #L and #LL, four per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DJ-81 and the DJ-82 Twin Assist are built from the same components, so the choice between them is not about hook quality — it is one hook or two. The DJ-81 is the single: one point, one tether, far less to tangle around the leader on a fast drop and far less metal to find rock, rope or net. The DJ-82 puts two independent hooks on their own adjustable tethers, converting more of the half-hearted swipes a single misses, at the cost of tangles and snags. Fish the DJ-81 over foul ground and on fast vertical drops; keep a twin for clean bottom and short-biting fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-type assist rig, primarily for front mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook designed solely for assist fishing and optimised for PE tackle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed compound braided root line with smooth resin coating against abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnot reinforced with a red protective tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold finish with Aqua Block coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes #M, #L and #LL; four rigs per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShares components with the DJ-82 Twin Assist\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\u003eFront mount as standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hang it at the head of the jig for vertical and speed jigging, where fish take a rising jig from below and in front.
