This model has the same shape as the popular previous model, but the needle thickness has been increased to make it less likely to bend, and the beads have been changed to stainless steel for increased strength. Compared to the Expert model, this type is easier to hook the squid over a wider area when the yari (spear) arrives, making it recommended for young squid and beginners. (If you would like to change one to the Expert model, please comment after purchase.) (This yari may fail if used with the conventional methods. Beginners and veterans alike, please be sure to read the profile.) Approximately 13g, total length 36cm Super-hard stainless steel 1.2mm For horse mackerel around 15cm (Features) ① Even if you don't know when the yari has reached the squid, it will flip up immediately upon arrival. The advantage is that it increases the probability of hooking the squid before it escapes, even with squid that haven't had their heads removed, making it easier for beginners to fish (provided the squid is in a vertical embrace). When it reaches the squid, the structure is such that the main body of the first support point flips up like a swing, leaving the second and third support points on the line (it jumps forward). Unlike conventional flipping, there is no loss of lifting the needle, and the forward speed, the weight of the yari, and the water pressure when reeling in all contribute to the flipping force. (Once the yari reaches the squid, you will reel it in while maintaining the flipped-up state by loosening the line with a three-point yari stopper.) ② The fluorine-coated large roller provides good smoothness and quietness in the water, eliminating the need to loosen the line to send in the yari, making it less likely to give the squid a sense of discomfort, and is good for offshore hooking, etc. ③ The needle is made in-house from super-hard stainless steel, considering a wide and sharp hooking range. No barbs (only the third stage has a barb). ④ For night fishing, a luminous sticker is applied to the rear fin, designed to be invisible to the squid. It glows sufficiently during the fight if exposed to light for 30 seconds or more. ⑤ Even without a yari stopper, the needle tip instantly pierces the squid's body when the yari reaches it, so there is no need to set the hook, and the squid is caught. General yari needles are designed to hook the squid's legs when setting the hook or when the horse mackerel is released, but this yari is designed to pierce the body or behind the eyes, which are large targets. (Notes) ① Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. ② Since it is handmade, it is not as strong as commercially available products, and the needle may be distorted. Please correct it yourself if this happens. ③ No price reductions or bulk sales, please.
