Katsuichi build it as the swivel part used in rigs such as the Zero Dan Worm 217: combine your own hook and sinker to suit the tackle and the water, and you have a custom ZD (Zero Leader Downshot) system instead of a fixed one. The knot end uses a diamond-shaped eye, which raises the strength of the swivel section and keeps the leader seated. Run with a hook alone it adds clearance at the knot, which is why it also cuts tangles on no-sinker and Carolina rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Sits In The SN Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSN-7 (this model)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the rig-building part: swivel function, open eye, nothing to clip a plug into.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor lures instead: \u003cstrong\u003eSN-5 Spiral\u003c\/strong\u003e is the fastest change, \u003cstrong\u003eSN-1 Round\u003c\/strong\u003e the general-purpose snap, \u003cstrong\u003eSN-2 V\u003c\/strong\u003e the compact one for darting minnows, \u003cstrong\u003eSN-3 Egg\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSN-6 W\u003c\/strong\u003e the two strength options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen lower eye takes hooks and sinkers directly, so rig parts change without retying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds a custom ZD (Zero Leader Downshot) system from your own hook and sinker choice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond-shaped knot eye for added swivel strength and fewer knot troubles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating body reduces line twist; extra knot clearance on no-sinker and Carolina rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish, made in Japan by Katsuichi; three sizes matched to hook size\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\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie leader or main line to the closed diamond eye with a wetted uni or Palomar.
