Gamakatsu GA-042 Sagoshi Sniper Assist Hook
The Gamakatsu GA-042 Sagoshi Sniper Assist Hook is engineered for targeting Spanish mackerel (Sagoshi) through light shore jigging or offshore casting with small silhouette jigs. The short assist design matches compact jigs perfectly, providing fast penetration and solid hook-up performance without overpowering the lure’s action.
To withstand the sharp teeth and sudden bursts of Spanish mackerel, the GA-042 uses a thick, durable hook combined with a core-wire assist line, greatly reducing assist breakage and enhancing reliability during high-speed attacks.
Ideal for both shore and offshore jigging, this hook is also effective when paired with Gamakatsu’s Fighting Line to reduce line damage during aggressive strikes.
Available in #1, #1/0 and #2/0, each pack contains 2 sets.
