Quick Rig
 We're very excited to introduce
Quick Rig hooks to our clients. They make some high quality hooks
with unique features. The hooks are manufactured in Japan, with
attention to quality in materials and finish. Their ringed circle hooks
are flat out excellent, on a par with Owner hooks in terms of quality.
They're sharp at the point, but have less of a cutting edge to them
along the side. Quick Rig also makes some very trick 180 and 90 degree
offset hook rigs, in a wide range of sizes you'll find on this page. Use these for making up
trolling rigs or instead of a trap rig with the smaller size hooks.
Use the little 3/0 or 4/0 on plastics for some serious catching. We've
also commissioned QuickRig to make up some special items for our long
range anglers (welded rings) and tandem hook rigs for our big game
fishermen.
Quick Rig Charlie
Brown Chunking Circle
The CB Circle Chunk features the
same excellent heavy duty circle hook as their regular ringed Circles
from Quick Rig, but with one essential difference, a ball bearing
swivel attached to the eye of the hook. This allows the chunk to rotate
more easily, eliminating line twists and the line test degradation
caused by twisted and stressed line under load. It's a unique hook, made
for a particular style of fishing.
QuickRig Ringed Circle
Hooks
This is a great hook, quality,
strength, long lasting finish and a super point. If fish Owner's Super
Mutu, you should also give this hook a tryout. It is arguably stronger
and of the same level of quality. It's also a better value product.
Quick
Rig is a small enough firm to be flexible and innovative and big enough
to produce some excellent products for realistic prices. They have
introduced a couple new items that are specialty-type hooks for specific
applications.
First off the new LARGE Super Charlie
Brown Circles are just what we've been hearing requests for by our
Alaska barn-door halibut guys. These are a big meaty hook, with a ring.
The existing line-up seemed big, until I grabbed one of the huge 24/0
size hooks!
 Quick
Rig Hays Hook
For the marlin chasers, you've probably become familiar with
the Hays Hook. Quick Rig is now the supplier of this excellent billfish
hook. The stainless steel hook with round ground point offers excellent
penetration and reduced opportunity to cut through and lose your trophy.
These are a premium hook, not inexpensive, but among the finest ever
produced. They are offered 2 per package and available from 7/0-12/0
sizes.
 ProFIsh
Co.
Lip Latch Tandem Hooks (Area Rule) produce some
really excellent hooks for folks targeting the
Big Boys. Their Tournament Grade Lip Latch
tandem hook rigs are great for rigging up your
very best trolling lures. The Lip-Latch tandem
rigs are engineered to provide maximum hook-up
potential per strike. Instead of cable, which
can fray or cause the hook to cock, these are
made from aircraft-grade solid 302 stainless
steel wire to connect the hooks. This linkage
exceeds the strength of the hooks! A stainless
steel butt-ring is welded through the eye of the
lead hook to provide freedom of movement and
ample room for chafing gear. The forged and
tempered Mustad hooks run straight without
cocking are are precession sharpened to a
micro-sharp knife edge point. The entire
assembly is Teflon coated to provide
friction-free penetration and maximum resistance
to rust.
 Lip
Latch rigs are 180 degree opposed. This
configuration provides better balance with a
lure. If you prefer 90 or 360 degrees, simply
twist for the desired angle.
They are
precision sharpened and Teflon coated, so you
have a product that's ready to fish just as
soon as you crimp it on a line. It's a "stiffy"
design. The hooks also come with one
ring-and-grommet for use rigging up your
trolling lure at no additional charge. These
hooks definitely posses hook-up potential. If
you are rigging up your best lure, or hitting
the tournament trail, this tandem rig is the
hook of choice.

 Burns
manufactures some great hooks, tools for the long range fisherman.
They do a lot of things that make outfitting for a trip much
easier. They make some dandy lure rigging products which you can

Lure Rigging page separately).
 Burns
also makes a pre-wired toothy critter hook pack that's wonderful to
have along if you travel Baja, or any destination that has fish that
bite back... Rigging wired hooks is a pain in the keester to
many folks. When you need 'em most you never have 'em.
So, Burns came to the rescue, in a very nice fashion. Burns
rigs 'em right, with their stainless welded ring, Sevenstrand single
strand wire and crimp and Mustad bait hook. The rigs are available
in several sizes and tests, packed six 12" hook leaders per

Gamakatsu
New
Assist 510 Jigging Lure Stinger Hooks
 Here's
a trick new gizmo that's looking for applications. Gamakatsu
recently came out with a neat stinger hook rig that's going to be
seen on a lot of lures as time rolls along. This new
accessory will change the way anglers fish vertical jigs.
You see, jigs work great so long as fish do what's expected, and
strike the right end of the lure. When they don't you get
bumped, but not hooked. With the Assist 510 you can improve
your odds of setting a hook by running the rig at the head of your
lure. It's designed to hook any fish that strikes the head
of a vertically jigged lure.
The hook
itself is a super short shank with a round wide gap and long
sticky sharp curved point, and a micro barbed reverse barb. The
out-barb prevents the hook from catching on or chaffing the
main-line. The hook is firmly attached to a loop made from
super-strong braded line. The loop and hook shank are
covered with a durable heat shrink tubing that protects the loop
connection from abrasion and saltwater. The loop and shrink
tubing are both done in red for a little extra attraction, like a
blood line on some lures and bait catchers.
To attach,
just run the loop through an eye of the lure and loop it back over
the hook, you're done. No split rings, knots or anything else,
rigging is easy and fast. The hooks range from 1 to 4/0, tin
finished for corrosion resistance. The loop on the 1-3/0
Assist's is 100# test, for the 4/0 it bumps up to 150#. The Assist
runs $4.99, three per pack for all sizes except the 4/0 which has
two per pack.
Please also check the Gamakatsu page on our
website in this section. They have a couple more unique accessories for
rigging as well as new steel cable Assist hook rigs that really make
sense for fishing wahoo and toothy critters.
 ProFishCo
offers some excellent hooks for these lures. The Assist
Stinger Hook rigs feature micro-sharp Mustad FORGED and
TEMPERED Chemically Sharpened points. They are dangerously
sharp. They're also some of the best hooks made for this
application. There are two lengths offered, a short (about
an inch) and a mid-length cable (about 2 inches long). The
hooks are well attached to their soft and super strong cable
(they test out from 140# to 180# of pressure before
failure). The hooks will not fall out of their rigging nor
will the loop break-off.

River 2 Sea is a leading
manufacturer of Knife Jigs, a primary supplier and original manufacturer
(not to be confused by one offshore reel manufacturer who offers some
jigs at a ridiculous price. They use a great quality hook rigged well,
at an affordable price.
The assist hooks are packaged three per pack, except for the double rigs
which come two rigs per pack. Most folks use a split ring and welded
solid ring to attach the rigs to their lures. For the split rings we
suggest Owner's Hyper Wires,
and for the open eye hooks again we recommend the
Owner Stinger open eyes.
