Ideal for making your own assist hooks. Varivas Avani Ocean Works Assist Leader is designed for high abrasion resistance and shock strength. Double structure design. Made with UV-resistant, durable VARIVAS Super Max Power (SMP) PE braid wrapped around a removable DuPont Dacron core. In the heavier tests this is the perfect assist cord material for the big bluefin jigging we have in SoCal, SMP PE is much more durable and UV resistant than kevlar. It is also perfect for slow pitch jigging hooks, you can leave the dacron core and make the perfect double hook rigs to a welded ring. Slow jigs come in many different shapes and sizes so being able to customize length is a must and making your own assist hooks is a great way to save money.
- Dacron core can be removed to create a loop for securing the knot
- After creating a knot, the remaining line with the core intact provides a moderately stiffer assist leader that helps alleviate line trouble with the shock leader.
-
The part of the line without the core allows free hook movement for easier fish bite.
