A Mustad classic, the Baitholder Beak Hook features a premium needlepoint built with Norwegian craftsmanship developed over time since 1877. The 4.3 UltraPoint® Technology guarantees for a sharp and durable needle point that stays sharper longer. That means more fish caught without sharpening or replacing hooks. In order to hold bait more secure to the hook, we've cut barbs into the shank. This hook's wire has been forged to maximize pulling strength.
