A curved point leans toward the bend rather than standing straight up, and that does two jobs: it starts turning into the jaw on contact, so a fish that swipes at a popper still gets pinned, and it sits far enough out of the way that the hook scars the lure body much less than a straight point does. Katsuichi aim it at tuna and hiramasa (yellowtail amberjack) on the surface. In September 2023 the range was extended downward, so the same geometry now runs from small inshore sizes to #5\/0. Long taper, low-angle barb, Solid System welding on all three legs, Smart Eye for heavy split rings, vertical eye, tin plating with Aqua Block treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved point developed from the Decoy SW treble range, on heavy-gauge wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurns into the jaw on contact, holding fish that hit short at a moving lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint angle reduces damage to the lure body compared with a straight point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid System welded construction; Smart Eye takes heavy split rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical (tate) eye for correct hang on poppers and stickbaits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTin plating with Aqua Block treatment for saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStocked in #3\/0 and #4\/0; Katsuichi build the pattern from #8 to #5\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopwater for pelagics\u003c\/strong\u003e — Work the popper or stickbait, and when a fish boils on it keep winding rather than striking at the splash.
