Sea Tech Sea Trace Hokeye Size 1/0

Sea Tech Hokeye Lumi (4 x 1/0 Hooks)

When you are targeting hard-fighting predatory sea fish, you cannot afford to trust your session to cheap, poorly tied rigs that snap under pressure. The Sea Tech Hokeye Lumi Trace is a premium-quality bait fish rig designed by expert anglers and hand-tied by professionals who understand the demands of serious sea angling. Featuring a lethal combination of high-visibility feathers, flashing holographic tinsel, and luminous attractors, this rig is built to survive multiple drops into rough ground while consistently pulling fish into your boat or shoreline mark.

Product Specifications

Pro Tips for Your Session

• Charge the Lumi Beads: To get the absolute best out of the luminous site beads, give them a blast of light from your headtorch or a dedicated UV torch before dropping the rig into the water. This makes them glow brightly in dark, deep water, acting as a massive trigger for inquisitive cod and pollack.

• Vary the Action: While a standard jigging motion works wonders, try a “sink and draw” technique. Let the trace sink down to the seabed, then retrieve it in long, smooth sweeps of the rod before letting it flutter back down. The combination of the Mylar flash and natural feather movement mimics a dying shoal of baitfish perfectly.

• Tackle Care: Gerry’s highly recommends these traces precisely because they are built to last, unlike cheap alternatives that fall apart after two drops. To get even more life out of them, rinse the rig in fresh water after your session and let it dry before storing it. This keeps the hook points razor-sharp and prevents salt corrosion on the swivels.

Where to Use

• Boat Fishing: An exceptional choice for drifting over deep-water wrecks, reefs, and sandbanks where mackerel, coalfish, and pollack congregate.

• Pier & Breakwater Marks: Excellent for casting from deep-water structures during the summer mackerel runs, providing the distance and durability needed for active shore jigging.

• Murky or Deep Water: The addition of the lumi beads and high-flash Mylar makes this trace highly effective in low-visibility conditions or deep water columns where standard feathers fail to get noticed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I add bait to these hooks?

A: Yes, absolutely. While the feathers and Mylar flash provide brilliant action on their own, tipping the 1/0 hooks with a small strip of fresh mackerel skin or a piece of squid can drastically increase your catch rate, particularly when targeting cod or larger pollack near the bottom.

Q: Why are 1/0 hooks preferred for this style of rig?

A: A 1/0 hook is the perfect “all-rounder” size. It is small enough to cleanly hook standard summer mackerel, yet strong and large enough to handle a hard-fighting 5lb pollack or cod without bending out or snapping.

Q: Is the line heavy enough to handle multiple hook-ups?

A: Yes. Sea Tech rigs are hand-tied using high-strength monofilament that is specifically chosen to handle the strain of four fish fighting against each other at the same time. The knots are professionally tied to ensure zero slip under high load.
