It is built around Decoy's own Body Hook Worm23, and the swivel system holds the point reliably upward, keeps the worm sitting level, and lets the bait turn naturally on the fall and the shake while cutting line twist well below what a plain nose-hooked worm produces. Unlike Decoy's heavy DS system, this one is tuned for light line — 1 to 4 lb test — and uses a standard dual-eye swivel style specifically so the sinker tag does not break off on the cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-built down shot (DS) system, not a worm hook adapted to the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin-eye swivel body keeps the hook point facing upward at all times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook element based on Decoy's Body Hook Worm23 masubari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned for finesse line classes of 1–4 lb test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-eye swivel style chosen to resist sinker break-off on the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black plating for low visibility in clear water\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\u003eBuilding the down shot rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie the main line to the upper eye.
