A straight ringed eyed, 2X strong, 1X long saltwater streamer hook. A strong universal saltwater streamer hook, ideal for a variety of patterns with our sticky-sharp AlphaPoint®. Fitted with the new TitanX matte gun metal finish for reduced reflected glare and increased stealth.
The newest point to Mustad’s proprietary Opti-Angle™ hook sharpening technology, AlphaPoint® 4.8 , has been honed to be sticky-sharp and refined to be our slimmest point yet. Thanks to the durability of multi-taper Opti-Angle™ sharpening process, hooks featuring AlphaPoint® are 10 times more durable than competitor needlepoints. Ideal for technical applications, where sharpness and quick penetration are most crucial and durability matters.
In traditional Mustad fashion, our tempering process is a careful, slow and steady process for a stronger wire. A core aspect of all Mustad fly hooks, the Nor-Tempering process makes these hooks 30% stronger than competitor wire without being brittle. Patience leads to perfection.
TitanX Coating is the final, perfecting touch in the sharpening process for AlphaPoint® thanks to the slick, nano-thin finish that keeps the point sticky and its penetration smooth. The matte, gun metal look is non-reflective for a discrete base of your fly, with maximum durability.
For anglers requiring hooks that maximize penetration ability, needle points are the only choice. Mustad’s multi-stage sharpening process meticulously grinds the point to perfection to maintain as much of the wire as possible while reaching a single, ultra-sharp point tip. After the point is made, the hookshaping machining process begins.
By forging the hook wire along the shank, Mustad increases the pull strength without increasing the total wire diameter. The wire strength is maximized at the most critical point of the bend in the shank, leading to more durable hooks anglers can depend on.
Since 1877, Mustad has meticulously designed, developed, and manufactured the best of fly hooks. With the help of professionals, the needs of both tiers and fishermen have been combined for the creation of legendary shapes and styles for over a century. Heritage Fly Hooks are both styles proven by your great grandfather, plus new modern designs to match the ever-evolving needs.
To reduce Mustad’s impact on the waters, our latest fly hook range has launched in bio-based plastic packaging. Rather than plastic bags, we’ve chosen a durable, reusable box made of Polylactic acid (PLA) plastics, which is 100% biodegradable and compostable under certain conditions. PLA is extracted from natural, renewable resources like corn, potatoes, and beets. Not only is it made from sustainable materials, but also uses significantly less energy to produce while generating much fewer greenhouse gases. Fly tiers will welcome the reusability of the robust fly hook boxes. Heritage Fly Hooks are packed for easy access and stack well on fly tying workbenches. Sort packs by type with the improved color-coding and specification visible where it’s needed most.
