Twin PIKE DJ-88

🎣 TWIN PIKE (DJ-88): The Absolute Standard for Light-Tackle Jigging

The original long-selling assist hook that defines the light jigging category.

The DJ-88 Twin Pike is a legendary assist hook trusted by anglers worldwide for its perfect balance of penetration, versatility, and reliability. Whether you are fishing nearshore or exploring deeper waters, its sophisticated design ensures fast hooksets even with the subtlest of bites.

🎣 Key Features

• Optimized Fine-Wire & Wide-Gap Design

  • The fine-wire "Pike AS-03" hook features a long-tapered point that instantly catches even small, "pecking" bites.

  • A wide-gap shape ensures high-probability double-hooking, significantly reducing the chance of losing fish during the fight.

• Cubical Forged (CF) Construction

  • Utilizes a specialized forging process (PAT.) that increases the strength of the hook’s bend, allowing the fine-wire design to withstand surprising loads.

• High-Response Original Braid Line

  • Features a durable, elastic original braid line that moves naturally with the jig to improve hooking rates.

• Durable Component Protection

  • Equipped with a high-strength welded ring for secure attachment and smooth motion.

  • A protective shrink tube reinforces the root of the assist line, reducing friction and preventing wear.

• Aqua Block Anti-Rust Coating

  • The Aqua Block finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, keeping the hook points sharp over multiple sessions.

🎣 Versatile Target Range

• Light to Super Light Jigging

  • Perfectly suited for seabass, red snapper, and hairtail (tachiuo).

  • Smaller sizes, particularly the #2, are ideal for the increasingly popular super light jigging (SLJ) targeting various inshore species.

Technical Insight: Cubical Forged (CF) Process This unique forging technology creates a near-rectangular cross-section in the hook’s bend. By compressing the metal from multiple directions, it enhances the structural rigidity and "opening" resistance of the fine-wire hook. This ensures you get both the lightning-fast penetration of a thin wire and the strength needed for unexpected big game.
