Owner S-125 Plugging Single Hook

The Owner S-125 Plugging Single Hook is a specialist hook designed for retro-fitting, to hard body Trolling, Casting or Jigging lures. Can also be used as a jigging hook for deep water jigs. It is similar to the S-75M, only the shank is thicker, heavier and made with Taff Wire.

Taff-Wire helps create hooks that are smaller in diameter, yet stronger and harder than ever before. The single most important characteristic for hook penetration is the wire diameter. Taff-Wire hooks are stronger per wire diameter, than any hook in the market and feature a 20% smaller diameter than standard steel wire and is 20% stronger for unmatched strength and unbeatable hook penetration.

The S-125, made by leading Japanese company Owner, is a hook that has been developed to be used a Single Assist hook, in lures such as Minnows and Spoons. This is a noble alternative to treble hooks, most lures are pre-rigged with. The S-125 single hook is less invasive than treble hooks. It features a turned eye, which forces the hook to sit in-line with the body, for a more streamlined and snag-free performance.

Why use Single Assist Hook on lures? The reasons are two and they are simple:

• The first - which has an ecological element to it - is that by using single hooks, we reduce serious injuries to fish that we do not want to keep, either due to their small size, or due to the period in their life cycle (breeding season). So our fishing style becomes more nature-friendly, adopts a long-term preservation philosophy and becomes more selective, especially when practicing Catch & Release.
• The second reason is more financial in nature and this is none other, than avoiding the loss of lures. It is not rare that our lures become tangled in the seabed, usually with more than one treble hooks, which make its disengagement impossible. With the use of Single Assist Hooks the chances of getting the lure tangled in the bottom are significantly less, while the chances of retrieving it are much more than with the use of treble hooks. This is enormously useful, especially in techniques such as LRF and HRF, where our fishing is usually done in the shallows, looking for the Mediterranean White Seabream.

The Owner Single Hook S-125 provides a functional option for changing out stock treble hooks on hard baits.
