YARIE Native Trout Hook Guide
Native Trout Hook Select Map
A guide for choosing hook shape, wire thickness, and barb size according to the spoons, minnows, and spinners used in streams and main rivers.
Spoon Hook Guide
For spoons, use Trout Hook Model 1 and GLAVE Hook as the base choices, selecting between them according to spoon size and target fish size.
Large to Standard Spoons
Trout Hook Model 1 is a sleeve-shaped hook designed for spoons. Compared with GLAVE Hook, it covers a wider size range and is suitable for fuller-bodied spoons and standard to slightly larger spoon sizes. The sleeve shape makes it easy to hook fish, while the mini barb helps compensate for its holding power.
Small to Medium Spoons
GLAVE Hook is also a spoon hook. Its micro barb is smaller, but the hook shape itself is designed to help reduce lost fish. It is suited to small and medium spoons, especially when you want stable holding after the hook-up.
Barb Selection
Between micro barb and mini barb, the mini barb is the larger barb. Trout Hook Model 1 uses a mini barb to support the holding power of its sleeve shape, while GLAVE Hook combines a smaller micro barb with a hook shape designed to keep fish pinned.
Minnow / Spinner Hook Guide
Vertical-Eye Minnows
DIRK Hook is a vertical-eye hook that pairs well with minnows using a vertical-eye setup. Its extra-fine wire design penetrates with light pressure, making it suitable for finesse fishing when you want to catch delicate bites.
Spinners
DIRK Hook is also recommended for spinners. The extra-fine wire is less likely to interfere with lure action, and it responds well to small stream bites and short bites.
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.
