Changing the hook will change your catch! Why is it called ‘specifically for Tai Rubber’? The ‘Jigger Light Tai’ hook is fundamentally different from the bait hook.

It prioritizes hooking and is suitable for active fishing. It can also be used as a support hook.

1. Strong knot with a large striking surface (ear) ‘Plus Edge’. The risk of slipping out of the knot has been a concern with Tai Rubber. The Jigger Light Tai features a ‘Plus Edge method’ that significantly expands the striking area, eliminating the anxiety of the knot slipping out.

2. Accelerates initial penetration with ‘Magic Fluorocarbon’. It has been treated with ‘Magic Fluorocarbon’ to reduce friction resistance. (While fluorocarbon treatment excels in penetration, it can also lead to increased chances of losing the catch after penetration due to its properties. Please be cautious with drag settings and handling.)

3. Uses the strongest material ‘Tough Wire’. The Jigger Light series luxuriously employs Tough Wire material. It maintains exceptional strength and durability (keeping the sharpness of the hook tip) and can easily withstand the strength required for catching over 70cm Tai using size 8.

4. Thinner and sharper than usual. Sensitive hook tip design. The use of Tough Wire allows for superior strength, enabling a long taper of the hook tip. The thin and sharp tip ‘penetrates when it bites’ features a special design for Tai-specific hooks.

5. Size configuration is in ‘gou’, allowing for detailed settings. The hook sizes are indicated using the ‘gou’ concept, which is used in size notation for species like Grey, Tai, and Ise-ami. This allows for finer gradations than the number (#) notation typically used for lure-type hooks, enabling a variety of hook arrangements favored by Japanese anglers who love Tai.
