The code says what this one is: \u003cstrong\u003eRB\u003c\/strong\u003e is round bend, the even circular bend that spreads load across the whole hook and gives a wide, forgiving contact angle; \u003cstrong\u003eMH\u003c\/strong\u003e is medium heavy, thicker than a standard freshwater treble but not the extra-heavy gauge used for tuna and GT. That is the gauge most anglers need: strong enough for salt water and big fish, fine enough that the point still drives in on a light rod. It is built from Gamakatsu’s Tournament Grade Wire, finished with Hyper Shield anti-corrosion plating, and uses a longer shank than the SP series plus a Magic Eye that opens a split ring without pliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound bend geometry and medium heavy wire — the upgrade gauge for salt water and larger fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTournament Grade Wire (TGW) balancing strength, toughness and sharpness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyper Shield corrosion-resistant plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagic Eye: the shaped eye twists into a split ring by hand, without pliers and without deforming the ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger RB shank than the SP series, improving penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes: #6, #4 and #1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacing blunt or opened factory hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Stock trebles blunt on rock and straighten under drag.

As a check, the front and rear trebles should not be able to touch, and the points should not foul the belly. Treble sizes run the Western way: #6 is the smallest here, #1 the largest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatch the buoyancy\u003c\/strong\u003e — Heavier wire slows a floating lure’s rise and can turn a floater into a slow-rising bait.
