The rugged O'Shaughnessy Classic series of stainless steel hooks has long been a favorite of saltwater anglers around the world. This long shank hook is perfect when using long natural baits, such as whole fish heads/tails, squid or crabs in both coastal and open waters. Ideal for both trolling and stationary fishing. This is a time tested hook, suitable for presenting any bait for species ranging from small cod, mudfish, sea bass, whiting, bluefish or striped bass. Equipped with stainless steel for optimum corrosion resistance. The "MTL-V1" point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to improve its quality. The result is a sharper, more elegant point shape with 50% less penetration resistance than standard Classic hook points!
