Round JH VT (Thick Wire)
Round JH VT (Thick Wire)
JH / BASS
Target Fish
Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, perch, and rockfish
Feature
A thick-wire model with a short shank and wide gape.
This model combines a short shank and wide gapee to deliver strong hooking power, while the thick-wire construction is built to handle bigger fish. It can be used confidently around cover or in situations that place heavy load on the hook.
Even in setups with heavier line or heavy cover, its hook strength makes it easier to stay in control and fish with a more power-oriented approach.
Despite the thicker wire, it still retains the easy handling typical of a round-head jig, making it a strong option when you want to build a more aggressive presentation.
Weight Guide
Weight
2.0g (Hook #3/0)
A finesse-friendly weight suited to shallow water and natural falls. Its lighter feel is ideal when you want fish to bite without resistance.
Weight
3.5g (Hook #3/0)
A standard weight that works across many approaches such as mid-strolling and swimming. It is easy to control from mid-depth down to the bottom and serves as the most versatile core range.
Weight
5.0g (Hook #3/0)
A weight that makes it easier to hold the intended range and carefully work near the bottom. It resists wind and current well, helping you track the target layer more consistently.

About YARIE Hooks
Japanese-made hooks backed by Banshu hook-making craftsmanship.
Drawing on a century of accumulated metalworking technology and hook-making know-how, YARIE pursues hook designs that balance coating, material, sharpness, and strength.

YARIE hooks are designed on the foundation of hook-making technology from the Banshu region of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan's largest hook-production area. Banshu hooks stand at the center of Japan's long hook-making tradition and are known worldwide for their strength and sharp hook points.
Founded in 1925, YARIE is a tackle maker also known as the first company in Japan to manufacture metal swivels. That metalworking expertise and long experience in tackle development continue to shape YARIE's hook design today.
Under quality control in Japan, YARIE pursues sharp hook points and consistent strength. Rather than flashy looks, the focus is on dependable performance you can trust on the water.
