New! Daiichi Bleeding Bait Catch & Release Wacky Hook™
# D48Z Sizes: 2/0 and 3/0

Senkos™ and rigging them wacky style is hot. Originally, anglers were using an ordinary “bait” hook. Then they the discovered the Daiichi Bleeding Bait hooks and caught more fish. Taking this success further, Daiichi has developed the Catch and Release Wacky Hook.

Because it’s styled like our famous Bleeding Bait CircleWide®, it hooks up in the corner of the Bass’s mouth for easier catch and release fishing. The landed fish ratio is tremendous! Each pack comes with rigging tips and retails for about $4.50. Available July 2002.

Daiichi Adds Circle Chunk® Light to the 2002-03 Line.

D84Z (Bleeding Bait™) D81Z (Black Nickel) Sizes: 1/0, 3/0, 5/0 and 7/0

After the overwhelming response to the original Circle Chunk hook, Daiichi introduces the new “Light” version. This light version is designed like our best selling Circle Wide® pattern but with the Stop Gap® bait holder feature from the original Circle Chunk hook.

The Stop Gap is a micro barb on the inside of the bend that keeps bait from getting jammed between the point and the shank.

“While mid year introductions are unusual, the response to the original Circle Chunk was awesome and the light version was an obvious choice.”
