Mustad has manufactured hooks since 1877, but now the company has made an effort to be able to offer all the tackle you need when you go fishing. Mustad hooks are made from premium hi-carbon steel, which gives the hooks maximum strength. Mustad’s unique tempering process ensures even strength and high quality. Before being tempered the hooks are forged, which in this context means that the hook wire is a bit compressed. By doing this, the strength of the hook is increased by over 30%! Mustad Wide Gap bait hooks are wide enough to hold most bait. Slightly reversed point helps keep bait and fish secure after hook sets. Ringed eye. Gold finish. Size 2/0. 8 per pack. Ref: 37141.
