Mustad UltraPoint O'Shaughnessy Live Bait 3 Extra Short Hook

Mustad's UltraPoint O'Shaughnessy Live Bait Hook is built for anglers chasing big snook, redfish, and striped bass with large live baits. Its 3X short shank keeps the hook profile minimal inside the bait, preserving natural action, while the 2X strong forged construction and wide O'Shaughnessy gap deliver the clearance needed for solid hook-sets on powerful, soft-mouth fish.

Made from alloy steel with a black nickel finish that resists corrosion in saltwater, this size 6/0 hook comes in a 25-pack. Mustad's Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering process make the hook lighter and up to 20% stronger, and UltraPoint technology keeps the needle point sharp and resistant to rolling for longer.
