Description

Fishing with live crickets demands an extra long hook. The Mustad Aberdeen Cricket round bend hook features a 4X long shank perfect for presenting crickets. Light enough for surface presentation or fishing under a float. Getting started is easy. Hold the cricket between your index finger and thumb. Place the hook point at the back of the cricket just below the head. Work the cricket up the hook and let the point come out through the back. Use it to fish for Brown Trout, Crappies, Bass, Rainbow Trout and Bluegills. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points! MVL-V1 Point Technology Needle point 4X Long shank Ringed eye Nor-Tempered
