It is drawn from a special high-carbon steel Yamai produces specifically for lure fishing — a material the company describes as difficult to control in manufacturing, but right for the job once mastered. The shape is settled for jigging: the shank is slightly longer than the SPT503 and the gap slightly narrower. That longer shank is deliberate — tying an assist needs shank to tie onto, and Yamai's position is that longer works better on jigging rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat treatment shapes it as much as the fishing does: the profile lets heat enter the steel evenly, and the point sits at a distance and angle from the eye arrived at through fishing rather than drawing.
