Hayabusa Wide Gap Offset WRM956

The WRM956 is the wide gap offset you reach for when the bait is too bulky for anything else. Hayabusa widened an already generous gape, so a fat craw or creature still collapses on the strike instead of blocking the point. The S-shaped shank head grips the nose of the plastic and holds it there through the snags rather than letting it slide down and tear.

The NRB non-reflective black finish is the other half of it — a fluorine coating that puts the point in through a smaller hole and takes the shine off the hook at the same time.
