The 4798 applies it to the \u003cem\u003emaruseigo\u003c\/em\u003e bend — \u003cem\u003eseigo\u003c\/em\u003e being a young Japanese sea bass, \u003cem\u003emaru\u003c\/em\u003e the wide rounded bend — so: long shank, round bend, wide working gap, and a \u003cstrong\u003ekirbed\u003c\/strong\u003e point offset from the shank so a fish taking broadside meets the point instead of the shank. Forged body, chemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point, brazed ringed eye, black nickel. Sixteen sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong shank, and why it matters.\u003c\/strong\u003e The JK-4 Kantuki Iseama runs the same jaw-corner geometry on a short shank with an inline point, and it is the better hook for a compact bait a fish inhales whole. The JK-3 is for baits that stretch out and fish that chew. A live prawn, a whole worm or a strip of cut fish lies straight along the long shank instead of balling around the bend, and the extra steel keeps a rasping mouth and a gill plate off your knot. Kirbed point plus long shank is a deliberate pair — a straight long-shank hook can slide out of the side of a mouth, and the offset is what stops it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKantuki geometry — shaped to find the hard jaw corner as the fish turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaruseigo profile: long shank, rounded bend, wide working gap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirbed (offset) point for engagement when a fish takes side-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point with angled cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged body and a pronounced barb — resists bending, and holds through head shakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazed ringed eye for knots, leaders and snelled bait rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel (NSB) finish for corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet it load, then wind\u003c\/strong\u003e — Do not strike at the first knock.
