Ajimeba Ami Hook
Ajimeba Army Hook
JH / SALT
Target Fish
Horse mackerel and mebaru
Feature
A hook built for ami-pattern fishing.
Ajimeba Army Hook is a light-game hook designed for situations where fish are feeding on micro bait such as ami shrimp. Its compact profile creates a natural silhouette that horse mackerel and mebaru can inhale without hesitation.
It comes in #10 and #14 hook sizes. Both are easy for small mouths to inhale and help convert delicate short bites into secure hook-ups.
Weight can be adjusted freely with split shot, giving you a wide working range from light rigs to delicate drift presentations for ami-pattern fishing.
It is a dedicated ami-pattern hook that shines around harbor lights and other situations where fish are feeding on ami shrimp or plankton.
Ultra Micro-Bait Pattern
Hook #14
When fish are feeding on extremely small ami shrimp or plankton, the #14 hook is especially effective. Its small silhouette creates less resistance and helps with short bites from finicky horse mackerel and mebaru.
Because it uses ultra-fine 0.41 mm wire, landing mebaru over 20 cm requires refined technique.
Standard Ami Pattern Size
Hook #10
An easy-to-use standard size for ami-pattern fishing.
It balances ease of inhalation with hooking performance and works well for ajing and mebaru fishing in this pattern.
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
Swimming / Range Control
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

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
Power models built for better-size horse mackerel and large mebaru.
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.
Vertical
Vertical Contact
Dedicated models for vertical fishing from a boat.
Best when you need a reliable hook-up in deeper water or moving current.

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.
