The extended DS (double hook) is perfect for hunting predatory fish. Unsoldered (one-piece), with an elongated fore-end, the hook has specially sharpened blades set at 90 degrees. Made of very high quality high-carbon steel produced in Korea, which is in no way inferior to Japanese. Has impeccable quality and piercing stings. When biting, it confidently holds any fish. Recommended for use with medium to large sized silicone baits. This type of hook has a special anti-corrosion coating, black chrome, keeping the quality of the hook even when used in salt water.
