Tsunami Ultra Thin Sabiki Bait Rig – Size 3, 6 Hook

Overview

The Tsunami Ultra Thin Sabiki Bait Rig is a fine six-hook sea-fishing bait rig built for anglers who need a delicate baitfish presentation rather than a heavy mackerel feather set.

Each rig is tied with six Japanese Size 3 hooks onto a 6 lb branch line and a 12 lb main line, figures printed directly on the genuine Tsunami packaging. Tsunami's Ultra Thin series uses high-quality Japanese line, chosen to keep the rig fine while still retaining useful breaking strain for bait fishing.

The hooks themselves are described by the manufacturer as ultra-sharp and are treated for improved corrosion resistance, helping them stand up to repeated saltwater use. The rig comes in Tsunami's "One Pull" packaging, designed to let the six-hook rig be drawn from the packet without immediately tangling.

Perfect For

This Ultra Thin Sabiki is particularly suited to catching smaller schooling baitfish from boats, piers, harbours and similar saltwater marks around the UK coast, rather than targeting larger fish on heavier tackle.

Because the branches and dressings are much finer than conventional mackerel feathers, it's a sensible choice whenever a lighter, more natural bait-catching presentation is needed. It's available in several dressing patterns - Green Head Aurora Sabagawa, White/Green Synthetic Flash, Red Dot White Flasher Tinsel and Green Dot White Flasher Tinsel - giving anglers options to match local bait species and water clarity.

Technical Insight

The combination of a 6 lb branch line and 12 lb main line is a deliberate design choice that keeps the rig thin and natural-looking in the water, while still giving enough strength to handle multiple small fish hooked at once. This is why the rig shouldn't be treated as a heavy-duty mackerel feather substitute - it's built specifically as a fine Sabiki bait-catcher.

The ultra-sharp hooks with corrosion-resistant treatment mean the rig is ready to fish straight from the packet and better equipped to survive repeated saltwater exposure. The One Pull packaging format also reduces tangling when deploying a six-hook rig, a common frustration with multi-hook rigs of this type.
