Owner 5134 Trolling Jobu Hook with Rustop 10 – 0 4pack

The Owner 5134 trolling Jobu hook with Rustop is considered the ultimate trolling hook for big game fishing. While many fishermen have traditionally used stainless hooks for trolling because they are resistant to corrosion, high carbon hooks have proven to be superior in other aspects.

One of the main advantages of high carbon hooks is their strength in relation to their diameter. This means that high carbon hooks have smaller wire diameters, resulting in better hook up ratios. In other words, they are more likely to effectively hook onto fish, increasing the chances of a successful catch.

The Trolling Jobu hook goes a step further by incorporating Rustop on its shank. Rustop acts as a sacrificial anode, attracting corrosion away from the hook. This feature significantly extends the life of the high carbon hook, allowing anglers to troll for days using the same hook. When the Rustop starts showing signs of pitting and corrosion, it can simply be replaced.

A common issue in big game fishing is when a fish is hooked and lost, but a stainless hook remains lodged in the fish without ever corroding out. This can lead to the unfortunate death of marlins and other fish species. However, with the Trolling Jobu hook, this problem is reduced as the hook eventually rusts out, minimizing fish mortality rates.

Some notable features of this hook include a vacuum tin finish, which enhances its resistance to corrosion, and Owner's patented Cutting PointT. The Cutting PointT is designed in a way that it never needs sharpening, ensuring optimal performance and convenience for fishermen.

Overall, the Owner 5134 Trolling Jobu Hook with Rustop is a reliable and effective choice for trolling in big game fishing. Its composition of high carbon and Rustop technology provides durability, improved hook up ratios, and helps protect fish populations.
