This is a handmade live bait rig, specifically a "nomase" (live bait) fishing rig and an elevator rig. The characteristic is that the total length of the rig is set to be slightly longer, prioritizing bites and preventing the bait fish from weakening easily. We recommend trying this not only when fish are highly active but especially when they are finicky biters. The reason for adopting the ear-attached external knot for the main hook is that it provides reliable strength and the hook tends to turn slightly inward, making it easier for the fish to swallow. Also, the distance between the main hook and the assist hook is set to about 15 cm, but please understand that there may be slight errors as it is handmade. Commercial rigs have a narrower gap, and by widening it, even large bait fish can be attached. If the gap is too narrow, the assist hook can pierce vital areas of the bait fish, causing it to weaken, and if it's too short, the assist hook loses its purpose. The main hook and assist hook are fixed, not movable, so they do not shift during the strike, reducing the chance of losing the fish. The photos show flatfish caught with a bottom rig and yellowtail caught with a float rig. We use Yozuri snap swivels (breaking strength: 12kg) and the Palomar knot for tying the line. The main hook is a KAWASEMI CHINU hook size 8, with a soft luminous bead attached to prevent the bait fish from biting through and to attract prey. The assist hook is a #2 treble hook, and the leader is approximately 1.1m of pink fluorocarbon line, size 8, which is rumored to be invisible to fish (it's a supple fluoro). When baiting with fish like horse mackerel, mackerel, sardine, or shad, the main hook can be attached to the nose, mouth, or back, and the assist hook to the tail or back. For small fish like anchovies or small horse mackerel, the assist hook can be used freely depending on the size. It is also characterized by its ability to bait larger horse mackerel, mackerel, and sardines. For bulk purchases, please comment before ordering. We will offer a discount on shipping costs.
