Mustad Assault Wide Gap Hook are built for landing lunkers. For versatile applications, these bass hooks are made for high hook-up ratios and secured hook-sets on big fish. The Z-bend and epoxy at the eye holds and protects soft plastics, perfect for wide gap hook applications like Texas and Carolina rigs, while also great when flipping. Mustads new Tak-bend places the point above the eye and at a more level angle with the bait, making the lure flush with the point and improving hook-sets compared to traditional bends. The aggressive bend gets plastic out of the way on a bite for quick penetration while also preserving strength and integrity when fish try to throw the hook. With Mustads AlphaPoint hook point technology, precision fishing takes advantage of the slimmer, ridiculously sharp point combined with the durability anglers expect from Mustad. The nano-thin TitanX finish with a sleek gun-metal look supports the sharpness of the hook and the smoothness maximizes penetration.4.8 AlphaPoint TechnologyOpti-Angle Needle Point1X StrongZ-BendRinged eyeForgedNor-Tempered
