The wide gap hook is perfect for live baiting with no compromise to hooking and holding abilities. The 1X strong wire hook features a turned-up ball eye and slightly reversed hook point for improved hooking potential. The hook comes with Duratin coating for maximum corrosion resistance and with red finish for enhanced attraction. 4.3 UltraPointA(R) Technology Opti-Angle Needle Point Reversed point Ringed eye Forged Nor-Tempered
