ASSIST SYSTEMS

The Core of Slow Pitch Jigging: Engineering Hooks as an Integrated System.

"ASSIST SYSTEMS" is a collection that embodies the philosophy of slow-pitch jigging, where hooks, rings, and assist lines are viewed not as individual parts, but as one seamless "system."

What are the true requirements for a hook in slow-pitch jigging? From the mechanics of the hookset to the final landing of the fish, Norihiro Sato analyzed every detail to establish the foundational theories of this sport. His pursuit of a natural, effortless hookset—driven by the fish's movement rather than brute force—became the definitive DNA of modern jigging.

Today, Japan’s leading hook manufacturers continue to honor and evolve this legacy. By combining Sato-san's original theories with cutting-edge materials and precision engineering, they are engaged in a relentless pursuit to create the world's most advanced hook systems.

• A Systemic Approach A hook alone cannot maximize a jig’s potential. The optimal combination of components is what allows the jig to "swim" naturally and ensures stability once the fish is on the line.

• Inheritance & Innovation Building upon the original DNA of slow-pitch theory, Japanese manufacturers have refined every aspect—from wire strength to coating technologies. This collection represents the absolute forefront of that evolution.

• Precision Leads to Results The subtle tension of the line, the weight of a ring, and the penetration rate of a hook. In the world of slow-pitch jigging, these minor choices dictate the jig's action and ultimately define your success in the deep.
