Mustad Double Live Bait Hook 5ct Size 1

The Mustad Double Live Bait Hook 5ct Size 1 is purpose-built for anglers targeting catfish and other species that respond to live bait or fresh offerings. This five-pack of Size 1 hooks features an extra-long shank design that gives you room to rig live baitfish, shrimp, or cut bait without cramping your presentation. The built-in safety pin works to keep your bait secured in place during cast and retrieve, so you spend less time re-rigging and more time fishing. Whether you're working a river channel, lake deep water, or tidal flat, these offset-style hooks are a reliable workhorse.

Mustad's Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering Process set these hooks apart from the budget bin. The manufacturing approach delivers a lighter hook that doesn't sacrifice strength—you're getting up to 30% more strength per hook without the excess weight that slows your bait's action. The MTL-V1 point design combines a sharper profile with a refined sharpening technique, resulting in a sleeker point geometry. That geometry means less resistance during the penetration phase of the hookset, so you're more likely to turn a bite into a solid hook-up.

Five hooks per pack means you've got replacements on hand when you lose one to a snag or a hard-fighting fish. Keep a pack in your tackle box for catfish trips, live bait applications, and any situation where you need a dependable offset hook with enough shank length to work with larger or multiple baits.
