The BKK Native-12 is an assist hook developed to replace common trebles and single hooks when reduction of torsional forces is most needed. Features include an inward-looking razor sharp point to ensure the best strike-to-land ratio, a forged shank for increased strength, and the super slick SS coating for lightning quick penetration. It comes equipped with a high-density solid-core braid that is stiff enough to maintain its shape over time, while ensuring the necessary softness to buffer torsional forces that may occur when fighting trout and other salmonid species. All sizes feature a split ring whose size and strength are already chosen to fit the corresponding lure. The three bigger sizes also feature a solid ring that further enhances the assist performance. All bindings are carefully coated in black epoxy resin to protect the knot and provide extended durability.
