Mustad Hoodlum Heavy Duty Triangle Hook

Mustad is proud to introduce the Triangle Hook Concept, the ultimate balance of functional strength and leading-edge design technology.

It’s not easy to come up with new breakthrough ideas for a fishing hook, however in 2016 the idea of departing from a traditional round wire hook was conceived. This new concept – Mustad Triangle Concept, or (MTC) was initially started as a project with the idea of building a hook that would not move around in a fishes mouth, like that of a round wire hook. The MTC range of hooks utilizes three flat surfaces in a triangular shape to give a more solid hook hold.

Inspired very much by stealth technology, a Mustad Triangle Hook (MTC) is a complex merging of wire shapes that represents the highest level of mastery in the craft of hook making. The actual triangle section is constructed using a proprietary 3-way optimized forging process, that yields 20% more strength than traditional wire. The high strength triangular hook shank, transitions seamlessly into a perfectly tapered round wire, which finishes at a high-strength, welded ring for maximum knot security.

Following down along the bend and past the integrated barb, Mustad Triangle Hooks feature two different point styles: Mustad’s flagship UltraPoint and new Triangle Point, the sharpest and longest lasting points of their kind. Further enhancing the design and construction features, Mustad Triangle Wire hooks are finished in either new advanced Mustad® T-Steel – a non-reflective, low visibility finish with unparalleled saltwater corrosion resistance; or Mustad® TitanX non-reflective, low-visibility, slippery smooth, nanotech finish. From a simple glance, the shape, lines and finishing, will tell you this is a hook like no other; Mustad’s® design and engineering team has clearly achieved the most advanced design technology ever built into a fish hook.

The hooks are presented in an exclusive box made from sustainable materials. Best New Product Award winner at Efttex Trade Show in 2018.
