A round, fairly deep bend loads the pull into the curve of the wire rather than levering the point backwards, and the point itself sits turned very slightly toward the shank, so once it is in it stays in through head shakes. It is the pattern anglers reach for when they do not want to think about hook choice — ponds, rivers, jetties, boat bottom rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the 45710 its own thing is the material and the eye. This is a \u003cstrong\u003eforged stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e build, not high carbon, and that changes how you use it. Stainless does not rust, so a packet survives a season loose in a boat tray and traces tied in March are still sound in September — the reason to buy it is rigs that stay made up. Two consequences are worth knowing: stainless is generally a shade softer than hardened high-carbon steel, so points dull faster on coral and rock and are worth touching back with a file; and a stainless hook will not corrode away inside a fish, so if you are releasing, back it out rather than cutting the leader short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eye is a \u003cstrong\u003e95° turned-up ring\u003c\/strong\u003e — not a flat 90° and not a straight ring, but tipped just past square. That angle stands the hook up when it is snelled and keeps the pull square to the bend on a dropper rig, which is where an iseama earns its keep. The point is set \u003cstrong\u003estraight, in line with the eye\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than kirbed, so long baits threaded up the shank sit dead straight and do not spin in current. Eight sizes run #8 to #20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIseama bend — round, deep, with a slightly incurved point that resists shedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel throughout for corrosion resistance and rigs left made up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body to resist deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95° turned-up ringed eye for hook alignment on snelled and dropper rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight inline point — direct pull from knot to point, and baits that hang straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle Cutting point with angled cutting faces and a sharp retaining barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth surface finish to reduce resistance going into bait and jaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight sizes, #8 through #20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat and jetty dropper rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Snell two hooks on short droppers above a sinker.
