Hayabusa Crossbred Offset WRM971

A mid gape offset that sits deliberately between the two standard shapes — part round bend, part wide gape. Hayabusa call it a crossbreed and that is a fair description: more room than a round bend gives you, without the wire flex that comes with opening a bend right out.

The stiffer wire is the point of it. Less flex means the hookset arrives where you aimed it, and the shape still leaves the bait room to work. NRB fluorine coat for the anti-rust and the smoother penetration.
