That shape is made for fish that bite softly and have small mouths — it enters with very little resistance, so a cautious fish feels almost nothing before the line comes tight. The DX-406 is Anglar's long-shank version in high-carbon wire, with a straight barbed point so the pull runs directly down the shank. The added length takes a threaded prawn or worm and makes unhooking easier. It is a light-tackle hook by design: very good at converting timid bites, not intended for heavy fish or high drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSode pattern — long shank, narrow gape, straight point, low resistance on the take\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger in the shank than the standard 4400 Sode: more room for threaded bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon wire that resists flexing open on the strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatted (spade) shank end rather than a ring eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronze finish for low glare in stained water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFourteen sizes, #4 to #17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlatted vs ringed eye.\u003c\/strong\u003e A flatted hook has no eye — the shank end is pressed flat so the knot cannot slip off. Nothing sits above the shank, so the rig stays slim and the pull lines up with the point — it suits fine line and snelled knots. A ringed eye is stronger and accepts heavy leader, split rings or snaps, which is why the 484 Plain Shank in this range uses one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnell it, do not tie a normal knot\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lay the line along the inside face of the shank, whip 6–8 turns toward the bend, pass the tag back through and tighten. The line must leave on the inside so the pull aligns with the point.
