Product Description
Wasabi Tackle Suicide Hooks are a premium terminal tackle option designed for serious bait fishing. Manufactured under the Black Magic Tackle umbrella, these hooks are produced in Japan to rigorous specifications, offering a balance of high-end performance and value. The "Suicide" pattern (often referred to as a beak or octopus style) is one of the most versatile hook designs available, widely preferred for targeting species like Snapper, Tarakihi, and Blue Cod.
The hooks feature a "bent back" eye, which makes them specifically optimised for snelling, a knotting technique that maintains a direct pull on the hook point for higher hook-up ratios. The offset point further enhances this efficiency by increasing the likelihood of corner-of-the-mouth hookups.
- Japanese High-Carbon Steel: Constructed from premium-grade carbon steel, ensuring the hook is strong enough to resist opening under pressure while maintaining a fine enough gauge for excellent penetration.
- Chemically Sharpened Point: The points are chemically etched to needle-sharpness, allowing for effortless penetration even into hard-mouthed fish.
- Black Nickel Coating: Finished with a stealthy black nickel coating that provides significant rust resistance and reduces light reflection in clear water conditions.
- Suicide/Beak Pattern: Features a wide gape and a slightly offset point, making it highly effective for stray-lining with whole baits or cut baits.
- Bent Back Eye: The eyelet is angled backwards, which is the ideal geometry for snell knots, allowing the hook to align perfectly with the leader during a strike.
