A super anti-rust tin coating resists corrosion in salt water and helps the point survive a session. The braided cords are firm enough to hold the hook away from the jig body instead of letting it collapse against it. EX405 is the single; EX406, EX407 and EX408 are doubles with 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm cords. All four run #1 through #5\/0, with cord strength stepping from 100 lb on the smaller sizes to 150 lb on the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e096 wide gap or 133?\u003c\/strong\u003e Same family, same tin coating, different geometry. The \u003cstrong\u003e133\u003c\/strong\u003e is the narrower, longer-shanked pattern: it tucks close to a slim jig body, rolls into the corner of the jaw, and runs up to #6\/0. The \u003cstrong\u003e096\u003c\/strong\u003e trades that for clearance — the wider gape reaches around a fat or deep-bellied jig and grips hard-jawed fish such as grouper and amberjack on a shallower angle of attack. Choose 096 when the jig is bulky, the fish are heavy-mouthed, or single-hook sets keep pulling; choose 133 for slim jigs and the largest sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayabusa 096 wide-gap pattern: short shank, wide gape, curved bend, long tapered point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper anti-rust tin coating for salt-water corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm braided cord that resists hook-to-hook and leader tangling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle (EX405) and double (EX406 \/ EX407 \/ EX408) configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree double cord lengths: 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix sizes per model, #1 to #5\/0; 100 lb cord on the small sizes, 150 lb on the large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbed points; suits vertical, high-pitch and slow-pitch jigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttach at the jig eye\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take the assist onto a solid ring and join that to the split ring at the jig's nose.
