Description
Limit revives the narrow-gap offset hook that was mainstream in Japan before wide-gap designs took over. Its short wire axis gives a low-power-loss hooking response, the point sits slightly outward to reduce pulled hooksets, and the narrow silhouette helps it slip through cover cleanly while sitting flush on skinny worms.
A rounded bend design keeps the direct feel of the hookset while spreading load across the hook, and the same Cyber Metal and TC Coat used elsewhere in the Ryugi range add resistance to deformation and improve penetration. It particularly suits close-range cover punching and rigging long worms. Finished in TC Black.

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.
