Short single assists are very versatile for a range of different fishing styles, the Jigen Grippy rear assist is great for traditional vertical jigging and a high pitch style. These are not limited to just the back end of a jig, if you're using tungsten jigs, semilong or shorter knife jigs then these will serve as a great top hook alternative.
For us in California it's also useful for slow pitch in the smaller sizes since we can only run 3 hooks on a jig when fishing rockfish although these hooks are capable of catching much bigger species.
These hooks use a round wire and round point design making them penetrate easier than wedge point or forged hooks.
