The mustad tg58 is kind of a specialty kvd triple grip the idea behind this hook is it's a it's a finer wire. It's got a longer shank to it. So it's a perfect for certain applications. Especially

Treble hooks are hooks with three points on them. They are most often used on hard baits and lures, but can also be found on some soft body swimbaits, live bait rigs, and even fished alone with dough baits for trout, panfish, and catfish.

Mustad Fishing (O. Mustad & Søn A.S.) is a Norwegian company that manufactures and sells fishing tackle and accessories since 1877. The Mustad product range includes fish hooks, multifilament and monofilament fishing lines, fishing lures, fishing flies, fly hooks, terminal tackle and fishing apparel.

No. 4 trebles will do this for most half ounce lipless crankbaits and many squarebills. Going up a size to two No. 2 trebles works well for most walking-style topwaters between 4 to 5 inches in length.

For instance, 2x Strong denoted hook means the wire of the hook is as thick as the next size up hook's and 3x Strong means the wire thickness to be 2 sizes up from the current hook strength and so on. The idea of the hook's size selection is based upon the size of the bait and the strength of the fish.

Third - and these days, this is a big one - singles are vastly better for releasing fish undamaged. Anyone who has ever bloodied a deck while trying to dislodge a bunch of treble-hook points from the mouth and gills of a fish understands that one large hook can be backed out much more easily and quickly.

barbless hooks Try fishing with barbless hooks, or crimp and remove the barb. Catch rates using barbed or barbless hooks are not significantly different. Barbless hooks are easier to remove, and they cause less physical damage to the fish.

Treble hooks are similar to single hooks in that some anglers use them to fish live bait for certain species, and they are used to hook live minnows when fishing for species like walleye, crappie, and on sucker rigs for musky. They can even be used on ice fishing rigs for pike.

Mustad has expanded from their core business of manufacturing hooks and terminal tackle to a varied range of other fishing accessories. Sales offices have been established in Miami, FL (USA), Singapore and Wuxi (China), and has production facilities in Norway, China, Singapore, Portugal, and Malaysia.

Norwegian Innovation Since 1832 After having produced nails and wire for twenty years, the Mustad factory near Gjøvik would start manufacturing fishing hooks, and they were going to do it better than anyone else.

Because bass can be triggered by a subtle flash of red like gills on a fish, red trailer hooks are outstanding on bladed baits, as well. When targeting sluggish shallow fish holding tight to cover, Stone uses red trailer hooks on his spinnerbaits and buzzbaits to give the bass a little extra “something” to hone in on.

The choice of hook size depends on the size of the fish you're targeting and its mouth size. For example, even if a five-pound carp and a five-pound bass are similar in weight, you'll need a smaller hook to catch the carp due to its smaller mouth.

A 3x hook is as thick as a hook two sizes up. These hooks are designed to provide as much strength as a hook one or two sizes up, but where a smaller hook is required. As an example a 2x 4/0 hook has a wire thickness and strength of a 5/0 hook, and a 3x 4/0 hook has a wire thickness and strength of a 6/0 hook.

Because these fish are so big and so strong you not only need a good heavy wire hook, you also need a big one that's sticky sharp! In strong current rivers I typically recommend 2/0 and larger for these fish. It's not uncommon to see guys using 5/0 and 7/0 hooks for them in the fall.
