The long shank Classic Mustad Beak hook has been an all time favorite with bait fishermen for many years. This bait holder hook features additional slices/barbs on the shank to better hold the bait in position and obscure the point. Great with rag worms, crabs and fish chunks depending on the size of hook. The reversed hook point increases the hook hold. It permits the point to come in contact with the mouth of the fish, without turning. Perfect for inshore fishing with a ledger/weight. Bronze coating for a discreet and good presentation in a variety of waters. Use it to fish for Salmon, Steelhead, Walleye, Bonefish, Barracuda, Plaice, Cod, Spotted Seatrout and many more. Comes in Bronze, Black Nickel and 14kt. Gold finish. MVL-V1 Cut Point Technology Beaked hook point Long shank Slices/barbs on shank Reversed point Ringed eye Forged Nor-Tempered
