Overview
The Decoy Open Swivel SN-7 is the key component in creating a custom jika-rig (pronounced Zee-Kah). The jika rig consists of a hook and teardrop-style weight that is attached to the open end of the Decoy Open Swivel SN-7. Once in place, the swivel is crimped closed with a pair of pliers and sealed with a drop of glue. This quick, and simple rig provides a snagless presentation that can be tossed into heavy cover or dragged along the bottom. Expand your arsenal of fishing techniques with the Japanese art of jika-rigging and the Decoy Open Swivel SN-7.

Comments: These things are pretty cool for some home made Jika rigs. I bought the medium sized one for 1/0 & 2/0 Gamakatsu G lock hooks and I bought the large for the 3/0 & 4/0 sizes. So far so good and I think it's easier to work with the large size but idk how well it would work one smaller hooks if you want to fish more finesse but cool little component to have in your arsenal
