Assist hook

An assist hook is a hook that is independent of the lure. It is attached to the lure by a small loop of braid. This type of assembly allows the hook to be free. In practice, this type ofhook reduces stalling and causes very little damage to the fish's mouth. This is because the fish cannot lean on the hook to unhook itself thanks to its flexible joint.
