It is matched to rigs whose action is mostly side to side — no-sinker, split shot, light Carolina and heavy Carolina — where the bait needs to glide and roll instead of drop. Decoy point to soft stick baits of 4 to 6 inches — the bulky bodies usually hardest to convert on an offset hook — as the situation it was built for. The gap is shaped so the point still clears a thick body on the set, and the shank holds the plastic straight. This listing covers #6 and #8, the fine end of the range, for finesse worms and smaller straight-tail plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched to no-sinker, split shot, light Carolina and heavy Carolina presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGap geometry aimed at converting bulky soft stick baits that other offsets miss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish, packed 9 hooks per size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory range runs #8 to #3\/0; this listing covers #6 and #8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Katsuichi\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\u003eNo-sinker (weightless) rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Enter the nose, push through the width of the eye, rotate the hook 180 degrees and bury the point flush.
