On the JK-4 that comes from the bend and the pulling angle rather than an offset point: a classic \u003cem\u003eiseama\u003c\/em\u003e profile — round, fairly deep bend, broad working gap, short general-purpose shank — with the point set straight in line with the eye. Forged, chemically sharpened with the maker's Dead Cutting point profile, brazed closed ring eye, black nickel. Eleven sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIseama or maruseigo?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JK series puts the same jaw-corner geometry on two very different bends, and the bait decides which you want. The JK-4's shank is short and its point inline, so pull runs straight from knot to point and a threaded bait sits dead straight instead of rotating in current — right for compact baits taken in one mouthful: peeled prawn, worm, shellfish, a cube of cut fish, on bottom and float rigs. The JK-3 Kantuki Maruseigo is the long-shank, kirbed-point version, built for baits that stretch out and for rasping jaws that would otherwise sit on your knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKantuki geometry — designed to seat in the hard jaw corner as the fish turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep iseama bend with a broad gap and a generous holding area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight inline point alignment for a direct pull and baits that sit straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body for resistance to bending and opening under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened Dead Cutting point profile for penetration and point durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrazed closed ringed eye — no gap for a knot to slip into\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel (NSB) finish for corrosion and wear protection in salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLean on it, do not strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — When the rod loads, come up slowly and start winding.
