Saltwater fishing places extreme demands on hook quality.

Assist hooks — the single or double hooks used on metal jigs — are a Japanese innovation that has transformed offshore jigging. Precisely rigged on braided assist cord at the head end of a jig, assist hooks dramatically improve hookup ratio on fish that strike the nose of a jig on the fall. Japanese assist hook rigs are available pre-made in a vast range of sizes and configurations to suit every jig weight and target species.
Single hooks for eging, treble hooks for offshore plugs, and live bait hooks for boat fishing complete the Japanese saltwater hook range — all produced to the exacting standards of Japan's demanding inshore and offshore fishing culture.
