Though I doubt the hook in them is domestic.

I hear ya. I haven’t had to set a hook in years. I too have some Cultiva. All of the JDM jig heads are sharp no doubt. But the Gekkabijin Saq Sas was the top of the heap. Why they quit making them I have no clue. I have some Daiwa spoons with some Saq Sas hooks on them also. I put in a big order for some Gamakatsu Yoihime round 1.5 gram and they are on the way. The only thing is the smallest hook size for them is a #6. I would prefer some 8 and 10 size. I have enough Gekkabijin Saq Sas to get me through one more year. Victors hook is Japanese made. If he gets some produced in 1.5 gram with something besides a #12 hook might be the one to go to.
