Assist hook DECOY DJ-83

Decoy DJ-83 LL: the long-length assist hook for large jigs and big fish

The Decoy DJ-83 LL is an assist hook available in Long Length (LL) version, allowing the hook to be positioned at the mid-body of a large jig. This cord length is particularly suited to jigs of 80 to 200g used for deep-water or offshore jigging.

The importance of assist cord length

The cord length of an assist hook directly determines how high up the jig the hook is positioned. For a short, stocky jig (slow pitch), a short cord is sufficient. For a long, slender jig (speed jigging), a longer cord positions the hook at mid-body — where fish strike most frequently. The DJ-83 LL, with its extended cord, covers this critical mid-body zone on long metal jigs.

Robust construction for intense fights

The DJ-83 LL is built to withstand the most intense fights with pelagic fish. High-strength steel, solid braided cord, attachment to the jig's head ring via a secure system: every component is sized to hold under the strain of battles with large tuna, amberjack, or lemonfish that exert tremendous forces on the tackle.
