ICHIKAWA FISHING TG1 Soft Baits #1

TG1 This is an offset hook that can be used with various rigs such as no sinker, down shot rig, Texas rig, Carolina rig, split shot rig, and leaderless down shot rig.
It has a sense of unity with the worm and does not assert the presence of the hook. When considering high pressure, delicate worms, and presentations, it is necessary to move the worm as naturally as possible without killing its original movement. This hook is especially indispensable at such times.
When used in actual fishing, it fits a surprising number of worms, and you will not feel the poor hooking due to the narrow gap width.
The offset part does not shift during casting or action, and is designed to shift firmly when there is a bite and hook.
The sprocket bend to give the hook strength is enough to catch large fish even with a hook of this wire diameter and size. In field tests, we caught several big bass over 3kg with the #2 hook. If you use the drag with a light line, there is no problem with strength. I feel that it is especially necessary in big lakes where the difficulty increases year by year. The smooth PTFE coating makes the hooking excellent. Just because the hook glides easily does not mean it is easy to remove. When observing how the hooks are set during actual fishing, they rarely get caught on the thin skin inside the fish’s mouth, but rather they often firmly grip the upper jaw or hard parts of the mouth, and sometimes even the hard parts on the outside of the mouth, penetrating all the way to the pocket. Furthermore, when trying to remove the hook from the fish’s mouth after it has been caught, it feels as if the hook is tangled and is difficult to remove. The balance between the weight and shape of the hook means there is no fear of losing the fish. The TG1 hooks are designed to give anglers more opportunities to encounter fish than ever before.
