Overview
Overview
The Asari Flashing Rainbow Sabiki Size 6 is a ready-tied, five-hook sea fishing rig designed for targeting shoaling saltwater fish. Part of Asari's Flashing Rigs range, reference 90246 combines size 6 hooks with a 0.35mm mainline and finer 0.30mm snoods, giving anglers a distinctive rainbow-patterned artificial presentation.
Unlike the six-hook rigs found elsewhere in Asari's range, this model is built around five hooks, offering a slightly different configuration for anglers who want fewer hooks to handle while still covering multiple depths in a single drop.
The rainbow pattern provides an alternative to conventional white feathers or red and yellow dressings, giving anglers another colour option to try when experimenting with different presentations in varying light and water clarity.
Perfect For
This sabiki rig is a practical choice for anglers targeting horse mackerel (scad), Atlantic mackerel and garfish from harbours, piers, breakwaters and suitable boat marks. The five-hook arrangement is particularly useful when fish are feeding in shoals, allowing several artificial presentations to be worked through the water column at once.
It suits sheltered harbours and accessible piers where anglers can lower the rig to a chosen depth and retrieve steadily, or work it vertically from a boat with gentle lifting and lowering movements. Because Asari does not publish a breaking strain or maximum casting weight for this model, it's best suited to lighter sea fishing applications rather than heavy beachcasting.
Technical Insight
The rig's fine-line construction, with a 0.35mm mainline and 0.30mm snoods, keeps the presentation relatively subtle, which can be an advantage when targeting smaller shoaling species that respond to natural-looking movement. The five size 6 hooks are sized for smaller artificial presentations compared with larger feather rigs, making this suited to anglers seeking a finer approach.
Being ready-tied, the rig removes the need to assemble five individual hook snoods before fishing, saving preparation time on the bank, pier or boat. Controlled retrieves and sensible terminal weight selection are recommended given the absence of a published casting or breaking strain rating.

What is the difference between the Asari Rainbow 90246 and the Asari Flashing Pro Rojo/Amarillo 90814?
Although both are Asari multi-hook sea fishing rigs, they are different products. The Rainbow 90246 has five size 6 hooks, a 0.35mm mainline and 0.30mm snoods. The Rojo/Amarillo 90814 has six size 4 hooks, a 0.40mm mainline and 0.35mm branches. The Rainbow offers a smaller-hook, finer-line configuration with one fewer hook. Neither is automatically better; the choice depends on target fish, fishing method and preferred presentation.
Can the Rainbow 90246 be used with a small metal jig instead of a lead weight?
Sabiki rigs can be used with appropriately sized metal jigs beneath the dressed hooks, particularly when fishing vertically or making controlled retrieves. However, Asari does not publish a maximum casting or terminal-weight rating for the 90246, so any jig must be selected with the strength of the rig and the fishing method in mind. Heavy casting with an unverified load should be avoided.
How can I reduce tangles when fishing a five-hook sabiki from a pier or boat?
Keep the rig under controlled tension when lowering it, avoid letting the dressed hooks drift around slack mainline and use smooth lifting movements rather than aggressive jerks. When retrieving, maintain enough tension to keep the hooks separated. If fishing from an elevated pier, use an appropriate landing method rather than swinging a heavy catch directly onto the platform, as these techniques are especially relevant to fine-line multi-hook rigs.
