Musaga Stand Up Jig Hook 7/0 - 3 Pack

Musaga jig heads have earned a strong following among anglers, and for good reason: ultrashaarp JDM hooks from Sasame are cast here in Europe to exacting standards, producing jig heads that perform from the first cast.

Ultra-Sharp Stand Up Jig Hooks by Musaga

The hooks are manufactured in Japan by the well-known maker Sasame. Drawing on decades of experience, Sasame developed a specialist alloy that allows them to produce hooks that are comparatively thin yet extraordinarily strong. The metal is highly flexible, which prevents bending out or breaking under pressure. This same alloy is also what keeps the hook point permanently sharp - gripping instantly even after many fishing sessions and catches.

Important: Japanese fishing hooks use a different size scale to European hooks. Sasame hooks generally run slightly smaller than their European equivalents - a JDM hook in size 4/0, for example, corresponds to a European size 3/0.

The Stand Up Jig Head Design

Musaga spent considerable time refining the shape of this jig head. The goal was a stand-up design that also delivers the distinctive running behaviour of an Erie jig during jigging. The Musaga Stand Up combines the characteristics of both jig head types in a single design.

Thanks to its sculpted plate, the jig sits on the bottom with a subtle rocking motion, presenting the soft plastic attractively. A few quick turns of the reel handle send it darting steeply upwards - ideal for imitating a fleeing soft plastic crab, for instance.

How to Fish It

Work the Musaga Stand Up along the bottom, letting it settle into its natural rocking position on the pause. To trigger a reaction, reel quickly so the jig shoots steeply upward - mimicking a fleeing crab or other bottom-dwelling creature. Vary the speed and length of each lift to find what the fish want on the day.
