Knot Lock Stick – Precision Tool for Tightening Custom Assist Hooks
The Knot Lock Stick is a must-have tool for any slow-pitch angler who builds their own assist hooks.
After tying your hook to the assist line, simply use the U-shaped tip to hook the solid ring on one end and the bend of the hook on the other. Pull firmly to tighten the knot and lock it securely in place — ensuring your assist hook won’t slip, even under heavy load.
This tool was inspired by Legend Sato, the pioneer of Slow Pitch Jigging, who originally hand-crafted a similar device by bending a needle.
The modern version has been refined for better grip, strength, and precision, making it an essential part of every angler’s jigging toolkit.
Whether you’re preparing single or double assist hooks, the Knot Lock Stick helps you achieve professional-level tension and finish every time.
