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. Mustad's 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 Mustad's 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.
