ASSIST HOOKS

Assist hooks are an essential component in Slow Pitch Jigging,
designed to guide a bite into a natural hook-up without disturbing the jig’s action.

In the Slow Pitch Jigging method pursued by Norihiro Sato,
the technique does not rely on aggressive hook-sets with the rod.
Instead, it is based on the idea that fish hook themselves naturally
through jig movement and fall.

For this reason, assist hooks must be carefully designed.
The angle of the hook point,
the thickness of the shank,
and the overall size and weight balance
all play an important role in achieving consistent and natural hook-ups.

This collection features assist hooks produced by
reliable Japanese manufacturers
that have proven themselves within the Slow Pitch Jigging scene.
