Kinetic Sabiki Hokkai – Size 2/0

Kinetic Sabiki Hokkai – Size 2/0: The Ultimate Silicon Predator

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Kinetic Sabiki Hokkai is recognized as one of the most respected and “deadly” multi-hook rigs in the history of sea angling. The Hokkai’s reputation is built on its incredibly lifelike silicon fish imitation profile. By combining a realistic silicon head with flash hair and fins, this rig mimics a small baitfish so accurately that it has earned the respect of commercial and recreational anglers across the North Atlantic.

The Size 2/0 version is a robust, heavy-duty setup designed for targeting quality Cod, Pollack, and Coalfish over wrecks, reefs, and rough ground.

Technical Specifications

Product Details and Uses

The Kinetic Sabiki Hokkai is a masterclass in realistic lure presentation:

• Lifelike Silicon Fish Imitation: The standout feature of the Hokkai is the specialized silicon head. Unlike simple feathers or squids, the Hokkai features a molded head complete with fins.³ In the water, this provides a “swimming” silhouette that predators find indistinguishable from a real small fish or sandeel.

• Flash Hair Synergy: The “body” of the lure is composed of high-quality flash hair. This material captures light and creates a shimmering “trail” behind the silicon head as it moves. The combination of the solid head and the flickering hair provides both a visual target and a vibration trigger.

• Nickel Specimen Hooks: The 2/0 hooks are built for strength. Finished in nickel to resist the corrosive effects of deep-sea salt water, they are chemically sharpened to ensure a deep, secure hook-set in the bony mouths of large Cod and Ling.

• Proven “Respect” on the Water: The Hokkai is one of the few rigs that has stood the test of time. It is consistently “deadly” because it targets the predatory instinct of fish that are hunting for small fry. If it “Got fins,” as the saying goes, it’s a target for the Hokkai.

• Heavy-Duty Rigging: To match the 2/0 hooks and the size of the fish it attracts, the rig is tied on premium quality nylon with a high breaking strain.⁶ This ensures you can confidently play a “full house” of aggressive Coalfish without fear of the rig failing under pressure.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Hokkai is an absolute “Cod Killer.” When fishing deep-water wrecks, don’t over-work the rig. The silicon fins and flash hair do the work for you. Try a slow, rhythmic lift of about 1 meter, followed by a controlled drop. The silicon head will “dive” on the way down, and the fins will provide a subtle stability that triggers big Cod to inhale the lure as it “stalls” at the bottom of the movement
