ABOUT HOOKS

To most people the most important thing about a fish hook is its ability to catch fish, and this is of course also the most important thing for Mustad when designing and developing a hook pattern.

In order to make a high-quality fish hook for a specific type of fishing, there are many parametres that have to be decided upon: should the the point be straight or bent in -- the throat be deep or shallow -- the shank be long or short -- the eye be straight, bent up or bent down -- the wire be thin or heavy ... such elements decide the particular properties of an individual hook pattern and how suitable it is for a specific type of fishing. We cannot go into all the details here, but by reading these pages you will better understand the information that you can find in our product catalogue.
