The shape answers one problem: a grazer does not engulf a bait, it nibbles first and swallows second. So the hook is short, compact and sharp enough to vanish inside a single krill or a pinch of weed, and to bite on the small movement when the fish finally turns down. Hayabusa build the ET1677 with a ringed eye and a barbed straight point set slightly off the centre line, which improves exposure when a fish takes side-on. The black nickel finish disappears beside a natural bait. Twelve sizes, #1 to #12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIzumejina pattern — short, compact rock-shore shape for fish that mouth a bait first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinged eye, barbed straight point — tie mono or fluorocarbon direct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack nickel finish for a low-glare presentation beside shrimp, worm or fish strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve sizes, #1 to #12, from small bream to heavier shore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloat rig with chum (fukase style)\u003c\/strong\u003e — The method the pattern exists for.
