Overview
Overview
The Golden Catch Aji Sabiki FS105 Natural is a ready-tied, five-hook sabiki rig built for anglers targeting smaller, actively feeding saltwater species. Rather than a single lure, the FS105 presents five dressed hooks along a fine 0.25 mm mainline, letting you work several depths of a feeding shoal in one retrieve.
What sets the FS105 apart from many conventional feather rigs is its natural fish skin dressing. In place of bright synthetic colours, the natural finish gives a more understated baitfish-style presentation, which can be a useful alternative when fish are feeding selectively on small prey.
The rig is supplied as one complete five-hook set and is available in hook sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12, giving anglers a choice of sizes to suit the fish they encounter. It is a fine-line, lighter-duty rig rather than a heavy-duty mackerel feather set.
Perfect For
Golden Catch lists horse mackerel, garfish and bluefish as intended target species for the FS105, making it well suited to harbour and pier fishing where these smaller shoaling fish are present. It's a natural choice for anglers working feeding shoals with a controlled retrieve rather than blind casting for bulk mackerel.
The rig also suits light boat fishing, where the five hooks can be worked vertically through the water column from sheltered marks. Because of its fine 0.25 mm line, it is best matched to light sea or spinning tackle rather than heavy beachcasting gear, and is not intended as a bulk mackerel feathering rig for larger fish in numbers.
Technical Insight
The five-hook arrangement means several dressed presentations occupy different positions along the rig at once, which is particularly useful when fish are feeding at varying depths within a shoal. Short 3 cm hooklengths keep each dressed hook relatively close to the mainline for a tighter presentation.
The 0.25 mm diameter used for both mainline and hooklengths keeps the whole rig fine and subtle, suited to smaller shoaling species rather than powerful fish. The natural fish skin dressing adds a more realistic baitfish look compared with brighter synthetic feather patterns, giving anglers another option to try when fish are proving selective.

Should I choose the Golden Catch FS105 or a conventional mackerel feather rig?
The FS105 is the more specialised option for small shoaling fish and light presentations. Its fine 0.25mm line, compact natural fish skin dressings and smaller hook sizes distinguish it from many conventional mackerel feather rigs. If you expect to catch larger mackerel in numbers, or need to cast and retrieve heavy leads, a purpose-built heavier feather rig is generally the more appropriate choice.
Can the FS105 be used with a spinning rod, or does it require dedicated sabiki tackle?
A dedicated sabiki rod is not essential. The rig can be used with suitable light sea fishing or spinning equipment, provided the rod, reel, casting weight and terminal tackle are matched to the intended fishing method. With fine 0.25mm line, care is especially important when selecting a sinker and retrieving fish, and it should not be expected to tolerate the casting loads of heavy beachcasting equipment.
How should I fish the natural fish skin dressings when fish are present but not taking?
Experiment with presentation before changing rigs. Try a slower retrieve, short controlled lifts or allowing the rig to sink through different depths. Natural fish skin sabikis can be fished without adding bait, so you can focus on varying retrieve speed and depth, and trying a smaller hook size can also be worthwhile if fish are feeding on very small prey.
