OWNER Hayate [Non-Plated Brown] #7 (90pcs)

The tournament scene, of course, is the core of the new straight hook that cuts through various fishing scenes. The short-axis, wide-angle straight hook tip and the deeper round shape of the throat create a unique design that balances quick hook setting and difficulty in losing fish. The hook tip features an ultra-sharp non-plated design that allows even weak bites to set the hook.

Keigo Shima’s Comment
The ultra-sharp non-plated hook tip of the Hayate excels in quick hook setting compared to other straight hooks, especially in flowing fields where wild sweetfish frequently approach. Regardless of the strength of the chase, the image is that it hooks immediately upon contact. The moment a fish approaches and touches the hook, the sharp tip stands up and penetrates instantly, ensuring it doesn’t escape. The more you use it across different fields—marine, lake, or artificial—the more I believe this straight form is best for small to medium-sized fishing. The touch-and-hook pattern improves circulation and increases catch rates. Of course, it is also effective in tournaments. The range of targets has expanded compared to before, and it is now confirmed as a new addition to my main hooks.
