Assist Hook Tying Accessories

Assist hook tying accessories contain everything needed to make and customize your own rigs for shore jigging and vertical sea fishing. Building your own rigs allows you to precisely adjust the length, breaking strain, and behavior of the entire system to a specific jig and target fish.

When choosing, focus on the type of braided line and its abrasion resistance, which is crucial when coming into contact with reefs or during heavy fighting. To assemble a reliable setup, you will also need strong solid rings, shrink tubing, and tools that make working with hollow materials easier.

Lines and Leader Materials

• DECOY DIY-10 Assist Braid Line – highly durable braided line with a hollow core for easy hook threading. A proven foundation for creating classic assist systems for any type of jigging.
• Varivas Ocean Works Assist Leader SMP – premium material with double the abrasion resistance and UV protection. High suppleness ensures natural jig action and more reliable hookups when the fish inhales it on the drop.

Metal Components and Adapters

• DECOY R-6 GP Ring – extremely strong solid ring made from a single piece of metal. Its special shape fixes knots securely in place and completely eliminates the risk of breakage at the connection.
• DECOY R-8 Metal Leader – durable bite-proof metal adapter against toothy predators. It extends the hook position and reliably protects the rig when fishing for aggressive pelagic fish.

Tools and Rig Fixation

• DECOY DT-3 Braid Knotter – specialized splicing needle for fast work with hollow braid. It significantly makes it easier to pull out the inner core and cleanly thread the line when making loops.
• DECOY T-3 Shrink Tube – high-quality shrink tubing for knot protection. Upon heating, it firmly secures the connection, maintains the desired shape of the rig, and reduces mechanical wear on the line.

Tip: If you are just starting with making assist hooks, we recommend getting a splicing needle right away, which will save a lot of time and prevent unwanted fraying of materials.
