Advantages and strengths of the DJ 89 Pike: resistance, versatility, and exceptional effectiveness

With its offset hook assembly, the DJ 89 Pike significantly enhances hooking rates, providing superior penetration and impressive hook stability during strikes.

Ultimately, you'll experience no line-cutting risk or hook failure, even from the most aggressive fish.

Another major advantage of the DJ 89 Pike lies in its versatility. Typically employed as a front rigging on your jigs, this double assist hook is equally efficient when mounted at the lure's rear. Its adaptable configuration suits various vertical approaches, proving highly effective on pelagic predators pursuing falling jigs.

Tips for use and recommended rigging

For optimal performance when jigging with the DJ 89 Pike, follow a few simple recommendations. Favor using it with metal jigs specially designed for vertical fishing at depth or in open water. Easily attach your DJ 89 Pike assist hook preferably directly onto the jig's front ring if targeting predominantly predatory species that usually attack frontally.

When strikes become subtle or frequently occur at the end of the lure’s descent, rigging the hook at the lure’s rear becomes strategically essential. This tactic will drastically improve your hooking conversion rate, particularly when vertically fishing intermediate depths. To ensure your rig lasts longer, always thoroughly rinse your equipment with fresh water after each sea outing, and regularly inspect your steel wire leader and hook sharpness.
