Where the Maboroshi runs a longer shank and narrower gap for vertical jigging, the Hikari is short-shanked with a wide gap — the geometry that catches short takes from fish that flare at a fluttering jig rather than chase it. Yamai's stated view is that a suitable wide gap converts more bites than a short gap. The same high-carbon steel used across the Fighter range gives the point its strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name points to the other feature. The hook body is carved from a flatted area and then hard-pressed, with the point pressed in the same operation. That makes it stronger and leaves flat faces on the body that flash in the water — an attracting surface built into the hook, which matters on slow-pitch rigs where the assists hang beside a fluttering jig in full view. The process is harder to heat-treat evenly, which is why the shape is specific to Yamai\/Suteki. Silver finish, medium-light to light-heavy wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort shank with a wide gap, for slow-pitch, light and super-light jigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody carved from a flatted area and hard-pressed for strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat pressed faces on the hook body create flash in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial high-carbon steel produced for lure fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver finish; medium-light to light-heavy wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as bare hooks: #1\/0 in packs of 7, #2\/0 in packs of 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso used as a plugging hook in place of trebles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwin assist for slow pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie two Hikari onto a PE assist cord, points facing outward, and hang the pair at the jig head on a solid ring.
