Every model uses a braided Kevlar exterior for abrasion and bite resistance, which keeps the rig alive against sharp teeth, the edge of the jig and rough structure. Inside that sheath sits a core, and the core is what changes between the three models — it sets how stiff the finished assist sits, and therefore how the hook behaves on the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAL-1\u003c\/strong\u003e is a balanced Kevlar\/PE construction for all-round single- and double-assist tying — the default choice if you build one type of rig for everything. \u003cstrong\u003eAL-2\u003c\/strong\u003e has a firm fluorocarbon core; the added rigidity holds the hook standing away from the jig body, which is what stops tangles on the long horizontal flutter of a slow-pitch fall and gives responsive hook-setting. \u003cstrong\u003eAL-3\u003c\/strong\u003e combines Kevlar with a solid braided PE core for strength with flexibility, letting the hook swing freely — the softer feel wanted for vertical and speed jigging, and for light jigging where a stiff cord kills the action. Supplied on 5-metre spools, two colours per model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraided Kevlar exterior resisting abrasion, wear and damage from sharp-toothed species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree core constructions: balanced Kevlar\/PE (AL-1), rigid fluorocarbon core (AL-2), flexible solid PE core (AL-3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking strengths from 80 lb to 310 lb depending on model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits double-fold, needle-thread and double-assist slow-jig configurations — fold the cord over the shank, thread the tag back through the sheath with the needle, then whip with assist thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner core can be exposed or removed when creating loops and attaching hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigging needle included with AL-1 and AL-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-metre spool — enough material for multiple custom assist assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Tie And Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting the length\u003c\/strong\u003e — Measure the finished assist against the jig: roughly one third to one half of the jig's body length, split ring to hook bend. Too short and the hook never reaches a short-biting fish; too long and it wraps the leader on the drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or double\u003c\/strong\u003e — A single assist gives the cleanest jig action and fewest tangles; a double assist raises the hook-up rate on fish that swipe rather than eat. Run doubles at slightly different lengths so the two hooks cannot foul each other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront or rear mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — Front (nose) mount is standard for vertical and speed jigging, where fish attack the head of a rising jig. Rear, or front-and-rear, suits slow pitch, where the jig falls flat and fish take it from behind and below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow pitch versus vertical\u003c\/strong\u003e — Slow-pitch rigs run short and stiff (AL-2) so hooks stand off the jig through a long fluttering fall. Vertical and speed jigging want a slightly longer, softer assist (AL-3) that folds against the jig on the lift and opens out on the drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kevlar's cut resistance is why this cord is used on tenggiri, barracuda and hound species. It handles a rasping mouth far better than plain PE, but it is not a wire trace — inspect after every fish and re-tie when the sheath is furred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species By Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Assist rigs for gerepoh (giant trevally), queenfish, tenggiri (Spanish mackerel), red snapper (ikan merah) and grouper (kerapu) on reef and wreck marks off Rompin and eastern Indonesia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorth America\u003c\/strong\u003e — Amberjack, grouper and snapper on Gulf and Atlantic wrecks; yellowtail, lingcod, halibut and rockfish on West Coast jigging trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapan \u0026amp; East Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — The home ground of the technique: buri and hiramasa on standard and speed jigging, madai, kasago and hirame on slow-pitch (スロージギング) rigs where assist length and stiffness are tuned deliberately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralia, Middle East \u0026amp; Europe\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yellowtail kingfish and samson fish on Australian reefs; queenfish, cobia and GT in the Gulf; pollack and cod on European wreck marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBreaking Strengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpool\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU Prefix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAL-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced Kevlar \/ PE — all-round assist tying\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80, 110, 160, 220, 310 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey, Red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53503\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAL-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKevlar with firm fluorocarbon core — slow jigging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110, 170, 220, 280 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFluo.
