About this piece
The RUDIE'S 魚子メタル貫き (Uoko Metal Nuki) is a micro metal jig designed for light game fishing such as aji (Japanese horse mackerel) and mebaru (rockfish). This fifth installment of the Uoko series features an upward-facing hook structure to reduce snagging, along with a built-in slit that keeps the hook from tilting sideways. A quick-change eye, customizable assist hook or blade attachment eye, a 6mm micro blade, and a rear treble hook round out the design.
