Maruto MS-1097R Sabiki

Maruto manufactures saltwater sabiki rigs for Silver Shield exclusively. A sabiki or flasher rig is typically fished off boats, piers, jetties, or any structure over the water. Sabikis consist of any number (usually between 6 and 10) of small hooks, each one on individual dropper lines which are a few inches long. The individual dropper lines are then tied to a longer leader in series, about 6 inches (15 cm) apart; a weight is tied to the end of the leader. The individual hooks are decorated as lures or tied like flies similar to those used in fly fishing. Often they have a simple piece lumo infused material or iridescent film attached to them. Traditionally, on any individual rig all of the lures will be either identical or in an alternating sequence of colors. The type or size sabiki used depends on water conditions, species of fish sought or simply the angler's preference.An angler can also attach a bait cage and bobber to the rig and catch fish like large Snapper, Mulloway, Flathead Mullet and Gummy Shark. In Japan, they are used to catch sardines and mackerel off of large piers. With a bait cage on the rig, users should give a large jerk to release the bait.Extra strength and durabilityMade from carbon steel materialThe carbon steel material enhances hook penetrationFeatures needle sharp pointIncludes 6 hooksBrand: Maruto
