The hook named after it is built to that scale: very small, very fine in the wire, slim in the shank and straight in the point, so it disappears inside a scrap of bait and slips into a small hard mouth with almost no resistance. The 4783 is Hinotsu's flatted version — chemically sharpened needle-cutting point, forged bend, pressed spade end, black-nickel finish. Eight sizes, #4 to #11, fifteen pieces per pack. This is Japanese ultralight bait fishing in its purest form, and it travels well: in Southeast Asia the same hook is a jetty small-fish and prawn hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUmitanago pattern — very small, very fine wire, slim shank, straight point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened needle-cutting point for penetration on a near-weightless take\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged construction so a hook this fine still resists opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatted spade end for a compact snelled connection, no eye to add bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack-nickel finish for corrosion resistance in salt and brackish water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbed point to hold soft baits that a barbless hook would shed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight sizes, #4 to #11, fifteen pieces per pack throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnell to the spade end\u003c\/strong\u003e — There is no eye.
