Product Details and Uses

Gerry’s Assist Hooks (3 Per Pack) – Heavy-Duty Deep Water Performance

Gerry’s Assist Hooks are purpose-built for the demanding world of vertical jigging and heavy-duty boat fishing. Designed to be fitted to the top or bottom eyelets of jigs and pirks, these hooks offer a significantly better hook-up rate compared to traditional fixed trebles. Because the hook is “free-swinging” on a length of heavy-duty braid, it is much harder for a thrashing fish to use the weight of the lure as leverage to shake the hook free.

Constructed using extra-thick gauge hooks and high-tensile braided line, these assist rigs are built to withstand the immense pressure of hauling large predators from the depths. Whether you are targeting wreck-dwelling cod or hard-fighting coalfish, these hooks provide the strength and reliability required for specimen hunting.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

Pro Tip: When rigging your jigs, try using a “twin assist” setup on the top eyelet rather than a single hook. This not only doubles your chances of a secure hook-up but also balances the lure better during the fall. If you are fishing in areas with high snag risk, removing the bottom treble and using only a Gerry’s Assist Hook on the top will significantly reduce the number of lures you lose to the wreck or reef while maintaining an excellent catch rate.

Examples of Where to Use

Vertical Jigging: The primary use for these hooks. As you “snap” the jig upward, the assist hook flutters alongside the lure, often being inhaled by fish that are attracted by the lure’s flash.
Deep Water Pirk Fishing: Replace the standard trebles on heavy pirks when targeting large Cod and Ling over wrecks. The thick gauge ensures the hook won’t straighten under the weight of a trophy fish.
Speed Jigging for Coalfish: The heavy-duty braid provides a flexible connection that absorbs the aggressive, high-speed hits of big “blackies” in deep water.
Norway Specimen Trips: An essential item for any angler heading to Norway or Iceland, where 10/0 hooks are often necessary to handle the size of the local halibut and cod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose?

6/0: Ideal for smaller jigs (100g–200g) and general UK boat fishing for cod and pollack.
8/0: A versatile “all-rounder” for medium to large lures and targeting specimen-sized fish.
10/0: The “big gun” choice for heavy jigs (400g+), Norway trips, or when targeting halibut and large ling.

Are the split rings included?

Yes, each assist hook comes pre-rigged with a heavy-duty split ring, allowing you to attach them directly to your lure right out of the packet.

Why use braid instead of wire?

The heavy-duty assist braid allows the hook to move more naturally in the water, making it much easier for a fish to “suck” the hook into its mouth. Braid is also incredibly strong and won’t kink like wire, ensuring the rig stays effective for multiple captures.
