This strong, forged Mustad Beak hook features a reversed hook point for improved hook hold. It permits the point to come in contact with the mouth of the fish, without turning. The 1X long shank provides for bigger and longer worm baits. The beaked hook design offers great hookset and holding power throughout the fight. This bait holder hook features two slices/barbs on the shank to better hold the bait in position and obscure the point. Depending on the size of the hook you can use it for targeting most flatfish species, Bream, Cod, Sea Bass and many other fresh and saltwater species. Coated with Mustad's own Nickel finish, which are 4 times as rust resistant as traditional Nickel. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points! Comes in Black Nickel, Bronze, Nickel and 14kt Gold finish.
