Katsuichi developed it from the observation that the hardware between line and lure changes how the lure behaves, and shaped the bend with CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to cut the turbulent flow that interferes with movement. 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. Reduced contact loss means the lure reproduces its intended action, and strict weight tolerances keep piece-to-piece variation from upsetting a balanced bait.\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-1 (this model)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the everyday choice: round bend, gated closure, easy on awkward lure eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSN-2 V\u003c\/strong\u003e — smaller, with the line pull fixed at one point on the eye; better for minnows and shads fished with a hard dart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSN-5 Spiral\u003c\/strong\u003e — no gate to open, rotated on and off; the fastest change and the least metal fatigue, with no positive lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSN-3 Egg\u003c\/strong\u003e — cross-lock power snap for crankbaits up to big baits; \u003cstrong\u003eSN-6 W\u003c\/strong\u003e the double-opening version for the heaviest work; \u003cstrong\u003eSN-7 Open Swivel\u003c\/strong\u003e a rig-building swivel rather than a lure snap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound bent shape compatible with 8-pin eyes through to screw (heaton) eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBend profile developed with CFD to reduce turbulent flow around the connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpens and seats cleanly on deep-set eyes such as those on long-bill minnows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to eliminate weight variation, in a new high-elasticity material that resists metal fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish, made in Japan by Katsuichi; 13 pieces per pack\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 the leader to the closed upper bend with a wetted uni or improved clinch, never to the gate wire.

On a locked drag, a heavy bait, or a fish that must be turned out of timber, the rig hangs on one gate.
