Description

The 2X strong wire Mustad Tuna Circle Hook is a true circle hook offering the best hookup ratios. The distinct curved shape of the circle hook will, when the fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, ensure that the hook travels to the corner of the mouth or lip, resulting in fewer deep-hooked fish. This strong circle hook can be used for a whole range of applications from drifting, trolling or kiting. Setting the hook is more of a firm tightening of the line, than an actual strike. The open eye makes it possible to easily attach it to a split ring, swivel or welded ring by using a pair of pliers. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a special sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points. The hook has a kirbed hook point for improved hooking potential and Duratin coating for high corrosion resistance. MVL-V1 Cut Point Technology Kirbed 2X Strong Open eye Nor-Tempered Duratin finish

Field Notes

This is a strong circle hook for bait fishing, especially when targeting tuna and other large saltwater species. It is designed for drifting, trolling, or kiting with a baited presentation, and the circle shape helps hook fish in the corner of the mouth with a steady line-tightening hookset.

  • Open eye makes rigging easier with pliers
  • Duratin finish adds corrosion resistance
