Description

The Mustad Classic O'Shaughnessy hook features a needle eye perfect for fishing a Ballyhoo with a rig pin rig. The 2X strong wire hook is perfect and strong enough for targeting Marlin or Tuna. Using the hook with the highly productive, but somewhat forgotten cedar plugs is another great way to rig this short-shanked hook. To improve the hookup rate on your cedar plug lure, place a plastic tube above the hook, to prevent the hook from going too far into the cedar plug. This will reduce the leverage effect and produce more fish in the cooler. 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! Duratin finish for maximum corrosion resistance.

Field Notes

This is a heavy-duty saltwater hook for rigging natural baits like Ballyhoo or for use with cedar plugs. It is suited to offshore trolling and bait rigging where strength and corrosion resistance matter more than finesse. The short shank and needle eye help keep rigs compact and improve hookup efficiency.

Pros

  • 2X strong wire for big-game fish
  • Needle eye and short shank are good for bait rigs
  • Duratin finish improves corrosion resistance
  • Sharp MTL-V1 point for easier penetration

Cons

  • Too specialized for most bass applications
  • Not a lure or complete rig
