QuickRig Koga Stainless Steel Big Game Hooks

The QuickRig Koga Stainless Steel Big Game Hook has developed a serious reputation amongst big-game anglers, particularly in the USA, where the Koga design is highly regarded for targeting powerful tuna and other large pelagic species.

These are a hook I've wanted to get into Mr Fish for some time. When you're building bluefin tuna spreader bars, stinger rigs or trolling lures, the hook is the final connection between you and the fish, and it's not an area where I want to compromise.

Designed in the States, made in Japan, built for Serious Big-Game Fishing

The Koga combines immense strength with a distinctive wide, open gape and inward-facing conical point. This isn't just about making a hook as heavy and strong as possible – the shape is designed to help the hook penetrate quickly and then find a secure hold.

QuickRig specifically developed the proportions between the shank, gape and point for big-game trolling, making the Koga particularly well suited to tuna trolling lures and stinger rigs.

The stainless-steel construction also provides excellent corrosion resistance for demanding saltwater fishing.

Excellent for Bluefin Tuna Spreader Bar Stingers

For us, one of the most interesting applications is using the Koga Stainless Steel as the hook on a bluefin tuna spreader bar stinger.

The wide open gape exposes plenty of hook when a tuna attacks the stinger lure, while the inward conical point is designed to penetrate quickly as the hook takes hold.

They're equally at home behind conventional tuna trolling lures and can also be used for bait and chunk fishing for big tuna.

Mick's Tip

I've been wanting to get the QuickRig range into the shop for some time, and the Koga Stainless Steel Big Game Hook was one of the main reasons why.

The Koga has a formidable reputation amongst tuna fishermen in the USA, with some anglers regarding it as one of the strongest tuna hooks available. What particularly interests me, though, isn't just the strength.

Look closely at the wide open gape and the position of that inward-facing point. When you're trolling a spreader bar for bluefin, you don't simply need a hook that won't straighten – you need one that can penetrate and get a secure hold when a tuna hits the stinger.

For anyone making their own bluefin tuna spreader bars or heavy-duty stinger rigs, this is exactly the type of hook I'd be looking at.
