The Mustad S412NP-BN 3X Skipjack Bend Beak Bait Hooks are ideal for fishing with dough style baits or soft natural baits such as clams or mussels. The bait keeper spring fixed to the hook eye is designed to effectively hold dough based baits or thread into soft bodied bait that has a habit of falling off standard baitholder hooks. These 3X strong hooks feature Mustad’s 4.3 UltraPoint technology, which ensures that your hook point stays razor sharp over time. They feature a reversed ringed eye for ideal hook sets and sit perfectly straight off of your leader when tied with a snell knot. The wide-gap skipjack bend allows for flawless hookups and holding of the fish.
