The Mustad Bait holder hook has been an all-time favorite with bait fishermen. 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.
