Description
The Gamakatsu Land Jig Medium Double is the twin-hook version of the Land Jig Medium assist hook, developed under the concept of reducing the trouble of a hook tangling with the jig during shore jigging. The assist line carries the same precisely sized tube covering as the single-hook version — long enough to let the hooks swing freely, short enough to resist wrapping round the jig — and it is offered in 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0, each pack containing two sets.
It is aimed at shore jigging for mid-size migratory species such as mejiro and warasa (young yellowtail/amberjack), with enough hook to also stand up to an unexpected buri-class fish. Gamakatsu recommends choosing a hook with a gape wider than the metal jig it is paired with, and going a size smaller than the equivalent single-hook rig, to help keep the hooks clear of the jig.

FAQ
How does PE rating convert to pounds?
Only approximately. A common rule of thumb is PE size × 10 ≈ breaking strain in pounds, but it varies by brand and braid construction — check the maker's own lb or kg rating on the listing.
Are hook and jig head sizes the same across brands?
No — sizes aren't standardised between Japanese makers. Size to the lure you're rigging and check the brand's own size chart; the measurements on the listing are the honest reference.
The colour looks slightly different from my last spool — is that normal?
Yes. Dye batches on braid and finishes on painted heads vary between production runs. It's cosmetic and doesn't change the spec.
How does small tackle ship?
Packed in Japan and sent with tracked international shipping, same as everything else. Small items still get a tracking number; delivery time varies by destination.
Why buy JDM line specifically?
Japanese line makers in the JAFTMA industry group publish tight diameter and strength tolerances, and member brands are measured against them. Check each listing's spec — that's a per-brand claim, not a blanket promise.
