It is not a like-for-like replacement treble but an upgrade hook, for when the trebles a lure came with have been straightened, or when a fishery holds fish heavier than the plug was designed around. The wire is noticeably thicker than a standard treble, the eye is positioned so the hook hangs balanced rather than cocked to one side, and the points are long and tapered so a single point making contact still drives deep. They turn very slightly inward, trading a little of the instant bite of a straight point for holding power once the fish is on and shaking. A low-friction fluorine coating sits over a black nickel finish. Four sizes, #8 to #4, six hooks per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick-wire construction for hard hooksets and heavy fish, where a standard treble opens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre-balanced eye so the hook hangs square beneath the lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong tapered points, turned slightly inward to favour hold over the fastest bite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction fluorine coating over a black nickel finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned with Ken Iyobe; four sizes, #8 to #4, six per pack; made 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\u003eUpgrading a hard lure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Open the split ring with pliers, slide the old treble off and the new one on. Change all the hooks on the lure at once, and check the split rings while you are there — after a hook upgrade the ring is usually the next thing to fail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatch the buoyancy\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thicker wire is heavier wire, and on a floating crankbait or suspending jerkbait it can slow the rise or turn a suspender into a slow sinker. Test it in the margin first and drop a size if the action has changed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the size\u003c\/strong\u003e — Treble sizes run the Western way here, so #8 is the smallest and #4 the largest. Match what you removed unless the action allows a size up, and reel down to remove slack before sweeping the rod through — thick wire needs pressure to bury. The belly and tail trebles should never be able to reach each other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species By Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rehooking minnows, poppers and swimbaits for giant snakehead (toman), peacock bass and hampala barb (sebarau) inland; barramundi (siakap), queenfish (talang) and trevally around jetties, river mouths and rock walls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorth America\u003c\/strong\u003e — Largemouth and smallmouth bass on crankbaits, jerkbaits, topwater and glide baits; pike and musky on plugs, and inshore striped bass and redfish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapan \u0026amp; East Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black bass on hard baits, the fishery this hook was built for, plus seabass (suzuki) on minnows and vibrations where fish run heavier than the lure's factory hooks allow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralia, Middle East \u0026amp; Europe\u003c\/strong\u003e — Barramundi and Australian salmon in estuaries; queenfish on Gulf flats; pike and zander on large cranks and jerkbaits in European lakes and reservoirs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces Per Pack\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e341FF6028\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e341FF6026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e341FF6025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e341FF6024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese four sizes are the full FF602 range as Hayabusa publish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFF602 or TBL930?\u003c\/strong\u003e Two different jobs.
