Mebary Barbless JH
Mebary Barbless Jig Head
JH / SALT
Target Fish
Horse mackerel, mebaru, scorpionfish, and rockfish
Feature
Fast rotation, secure hooking.
Mebary Barbless is a light-game jig head designed with quick turnaround in mind. Its barbless design makes hook removal faster, which suits high-paced mebaru fishing and catch-and-release situations.
Barbless hooks generally hook easily, but they can also lose fish more easily. This model uses a carefully tuned hook shape to improve holding power after the hook-up, helping it keep fish pinned even without a barb.
The hook point penetrates easily even on light inhaling bites, making it easy to use around harbor lights and other light-game spots. It is a jig head built for efficiently targeting mebaru.
Shallow Water / Slow Presentation
Hook #9 / 0.5g～0.85g
In shallow areas such as harbor lights and inner harbors,
the 0.5g to 0.85g models are the best fit.
Their slow fall helps you naturally cover the upper to middle range,
and they respond well to mebaru's soft inhaling bites.
They also work well in pressured or finicky conditions.
Standard Weight Range
Hook #9 / 1.0g～1.3g
This is the most versatile weight range for harbors and breakwaters.
It lets you hold a stable range from mid-depth to bottom
and works with straight retrieve, lift-and-fall, and other methods.
If you are unsure where to start, begin with this range.
Deep Water / Current-Affected Areas
Hook #9 / 1.65g
When current is stronger or the fish move deeper, 1.65g becomes effective.
It keeps the jig head stable even near the bottom
and gives you better control with drift or tension-fall presentations.
It is the right weight for working slightly deeper ranges.
Jighead / Hook Selection Guide
Choose your jighead or hook based on method and target species.
YARIE's light-game lineup gives each model a clear role based on the situation you want to target.
Fast Hookset
Fast Hooking / Short-Bite Response
Hooking-focused models built to convert light inhaling bites and short strikes.
Ajibaku Jig Head leans more heavily toward ajing,
while Mebary Hayagake is an easy-to-use fast-hooking option
for broader light-game fishing, including mebaru and rockfish.
Swimming

Models that prioritize swimming balance and holding the intended range.
Best when you want to keep the worm tracking steadily
with straight retrieves or drift-based presentations.
Ami Pattern
Ami Pattern
Dedicated models for situations where fish are feeding on tiny ami shrimp.
For fine adjustments to range and weight, including split-shot setups,
the Ajimeba Army Hook is the better choice.
Barbless
Efficiency / Catch and Release
The barbless design makes hook removal easy and supports a fast-paced rhythm.
Best for high-numbers fishing
and situations where catch and release matters.
Rockfish
Rockfish / Strength Focus
Strength-focused jig heads built around a heavier-wire hook.
Best for scorpionfish, grouper, and other rockfish,
or whenever you expect slightly larger fish.
They also suit situations where you want to fish deeper with a heavier weight.
Ajing Power
Power for Better-Size Horse Mackerel

They balance the strength needed for bigger fish
with the ability to respond to horse mackerel bites,
making them a strong fit for size-focused ajing and boat-contact styles.

About YARIE Hooks
Japanese-made hooks backed by Banshu hook-making craftsmanship.
Drawing on a century of metalworking knowledge and hook-making experience, YARIE pursues hook design that balances coating, material, sharpness, and strength.
Coating
Surface treatment that supports penetration and durability.
Material
Material selection that supports toughness and resilience.
Sharpness
A sharp hook point created through long tapering and precision processing.
Toughness
Strength and stability created by flattening treatment.
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.
