The first point of contact with the fish is your hook. We begin this process with the finest line of hooks there is, MUSTAD. We use Mustad for worm hooks, replacements on our baits with treble hooks, and for stinger hooks on our spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. There is no substitute for quality on the business end of your rig!
Why Mustad? Aside from having fished with them since the 1960's, we began to search for hooks that matched up to our specialized needs as professional bass fishermen. Mustad's outstanding Pro Staff, including two of the BASSMASTERS Top 150 Potomac River's top performers Kevin Van Dam and Denny Brauer, aid in the design of the full line of bass fishing hooks.
There are a handful of hook companies. There are even fewer that make specialized hooks for bass fishing, and less that make a hook that is both sharp and durable. The point is that needle point hooks are sharp, penetrate quickly, and make small entry holes. That's the good news. The bad news is that needlepoint hooks, through their manufacturing process, remove much of the metal at the point to make them sharp, but this leaves them weak. Whether you are setting the hook in a fish, or anything else, the point will "rollover", that is the tip bends and creates a "burr". This burr eliminates the sharp point. Mustad hooks are developed to combine the benefits of the needle point, but without removing as much metal from the point, producing a more durable sharper hook! The Mustad Ultra Point provides quick and easy penetration and ultra sharpness.
