The Decoy Castin Single JS-5 is a sturdy simple hook with some very interesting details that will grab your attention.
Forged with stronger steel than the well-known JS-1 Sergeant differs from it by other characteristics that if we start to analyze them carefully we understand that they are not simply aesthetic, quite the opposite, they are elements that radically modify some functions of the hook.
Keep in mind that the Decoy Castin Single JS-5 is a hook that holds tropical fish, tuna, and in its smaller sizes is used for such fighting species as the tucunaré, barramundi and company. That is, we are in front of an error-proof fishing partner, with which to share our most unforgettable lure fishing adventures.
Now look at the two details that make the Decoy Castin Single JS-5 a unique hook. We have already seen that the ring is in line with the tip of the hook, therefore, this allows us to rig them on the lures as if it were a treble, with only one split ring. But what most strikes us is to see how the eyelet is slightly flattened on one side, something that without reducing its strength, avoids wearing out or deforming the split rings when it is being rigged.
The second point that the Decoy Castin Single JS-5 wins is just the position of the same eyelet. Look at the pictures of how it appears as a natural extension of the hook shank, that is, it is not twisted forwards or backwards, it just follows the same line. For those who are wondering what the real advantages of this design would be, we have an answer that they will like. Significantly improves the hook ups. And why? Because when we set the hook on the quarry’s jaws, it will not make any rotation due to some strange angle, but will enter straight, with the point following the direction of the eye/shank.
There you have one of the main reasons to choose the Decoy Castin Single JS-5 for all kinds of spinning lures to replace the triples, in addition to being able to count on the quality of such a prestigious Japanese brand.
