Hook Sizing Comparison Notice

Chinu (千又) and Iseni (伊势尼) hook sizes are NOT the same.
Size comparison: Chinu #1 is equivalent to Iseni #6.
Hook sizes vary by hook pattern. Please check your required pattern name and compare size dimensions before purchasing.

Difference Between Ring Eye Chinu Hook and Standard Chinu Hook

Standard Chinu Hook: Spade end (flattened top)
Ring Eye Chinu Hook: Tube eye / Ring eye end

Chinu Thin Wire ≠ Fine Wire Hook

Chinu thin-wire hooks are only slightly thinner compared to reinforced Chinu hooks, but they are not fine-wire hooks.
Chinu hooks are designed primarily for targeting large fish, so they are not ultra-thin in order to maintain structural hook strength.
Please refer to the detailed wire diameter/size data in the product description before purchasing.

Fishing Hook Style Comparison

Fine wire Chinu pattern (spade end / flat head): Black (40-pack)
Strong / heavy duty pattern (spade end / flat head): Black (40-pack)
Tube eye / ring eye pattern: Black (40-pack)

Why Choose Between Fine Wire and Heavy Duty Chinu Hooks?

Chinu hooks are well-tested and suitable for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
Fine wire hooks allow easier hookups and better bait presentation.
Heavy wire strengthened hooks offer higher strength designed for targeting larger fish.
Developed with Japanese manufacturers to offer both fine and heavy wire options.

Offset Point Fishing Hook Features

Shank: Symmetrical, smooth electroplated shank to protect the line under heavy tension.
Body: Made of high-carbon steel with 5H high hardness for exceptional strength without brittleness.
Hook Point: High-hardness point repeatedly polished for long-lasting sharpness and deep penetration.
Hook Bend & Barb: Smooth, rounded bend distributes stress evenly; offset barb design securely locks fish to prevent escapes.
