The name describes the build. \"W\" is the double: two hooks rather than one, so a fish that swipes at the head or tail of a jig has two chances to find a point. \"Free\" is the connection: the assist cord passes through the hook eye rather than being crimped rigid against it, so each hook can swing and rotate on its tether instead of sitting locked in one plane. The hooks are a short-shank, wide-gap pattern in high-carbon steel with an anti-corrosion finish for saltwater use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a free-swinging hook behaves differently.\u003c\/strong\u003e A hook bound solidly to the assist cord becomes an extension of the jig: every head shake transmits straight into the hook hold and levers the point around in the wound. A hook that can pivot on the eye takes that leverage out. It also finds its own angle on contact instead of arriving side-on, which is where the short shank and wide gap earn their shape: less lever for the fish, and a point that stays clear of the jig body when the hook folds back against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin (double) assist hook set for metal jigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-swinging connection with the assist cord run through the hook eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort shank and wide gap for hook-up rate and hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-corrosion finish for saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: #S, #M and #L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sets per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet the length first\u003c\/strong\u003e — Finished length from split ring to bend should be roughly a third to a half of the jig body. Shorter and the hooks cannot reach a fish hitting the belly; longer and they wrap the leader on every fast drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront for vertical, rear for slow pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mount at the head for vertical and speed jigging, where fish take a rising jig from the front; at the tail, or both ends, for slow pitch and inchiku, where the jig falls flat and fish come from behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStagger the pair\u003c\/strong\u003e — Do not leave both hooks at exactly the same length. A few millimetres of difference stops the two points from catching each other on the flutter, which is the usual reason a twin set locks up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnect through a solid ring\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hang the set on a solid ring, then join that to the jig with a heavy split ring. Never let the cord bear directly on the split ring seam, and check both after every fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnow when to go single\u003c\/strong\u003e — Over rock, wreck and rope, a twin finds structure twice as often.
