The hollow-core assist cord BKK Hollow Core Assist Cord is designed for demanding anglers who build their own assist hooks and want a connection that is reliable, clean, and durable. Made for jigging and technical rigs, it combines a hollow core construction with an internal fluorocarbon core to make splicing easier and deliver a neat finish without bulky knots. The result is a more consistent rig, better long-term hold, and a more natural presentation of the hook.
Made from high-density fibers selected for their strength, this assist cord is built to handle the typical demands of vertical and power fishing: repeated abrasion, tension during hook sets, and stress on split rings and jig heads. Its flexibility helps preserve smooth action and supports the hook’s movement, helping maintain a realistic presentation, especially when the lure is worked with an irregular cadence.
To improve longevity and keep performance consistent, BKK applies a chemical treatment designed to increase resistance to environmental exposure. The cord is therefore built to better withstand light exposure and limit water absorption, two factors that can affect some materials over time. This approach helps maintain a soft, stable feel while preserving solid mechanical strength.
The main benefit of this BKK Hollow Core Assist Cord is its ease of rigging: splicing with a suitable needle creates a discreet and strong connection, which is especially appreciated when you want neat, consistent assist hooks. The rig presentation stays clean, while the cord retains excellent flexibility, helping reduce unwanted stiffness and promoting a more natural action.
Its design also focuses on durability. During fishing, the cord is exposed to spray, micro-abrasion, and changing moisture conditions. The applied treatment and material selection are intended to keep performance stable, trip after trip. For the angler, this means more consistent rigs and greater confidence during critical phases: the drop, erratic retrieves, strikes, and hook sets.
Finally, this BKK accessory fits perfectly into an at-home rig-building approach: whether you are tying single or double assists, or adjusting your setups to match conditions, this cord helps standardize rig quality and save time while maintaining a professional finish.
To get the most out of the hollow-core construction, use splicing rather than knots: a latch needle or equivalent splicing tool is recommended. Take your time to position the internal core properly before closing the splice. Work carefully to avoid crushing the fibers, then finish the rig using your preferred method (heat shrink tubing or whipping), without overloading the setup. Inspect the cord regularly at abrasion points and replace the assist as soon as visible wear appears, to maintain maximum safety during fights.
Question 1: What is a hollow-core assist cord used for in jigging?
Answer: It is used to make assist hooks and clean connections between the hook and the lure, allowing a discreet and strong splice while keeping enough flexibility for natural movement.
Question 2: Is it compatible with most assist hook setups?
Answer: Yes, this type of cord is designed for assist rigs and works with standard components (assist hooks, split/solid rings, sleeves), provided you use a suitable splicing tool.
Question 3: Why are UV resistance and low water absorption useful?
Answer: These features help preserve the material over time by limiting certain types of degradation caused by exposure and moisture, resulting in more consistent rigs over repeated outings.
