Mustad Double Live Bait Hook 5ct Size 6

The Mustad Double Live Bait Hook in Size 6 (5-pack) is built for catfish anglers and live bait enthusiasts who need a reliable hook that holds shiners, shrimp, and other live offerings securely in place. The extra-long shank design gives you room to thread and position live bait without crowding the point, while the built-in safety pin keeps your offering from sliding or spinning—critical when you're targeting cats that mouth baits before committing. Mustad's Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering Process reduce weight while delivering up to 30% more strength than standard hooks, so you get a lighter rig without sacrificing durability when you're fighting a 40-pounder.

The MTL-V1 point is where you'll notice the difference in the water. Mustad engineered a sharper, sleeker point geometry combined with an updated sharpening process that cuts penetration resistance by 50% compared to classic hook points. That means faster, more reliable hooksets—especially valuable when catfish are using their barbels to feel and reject unfamiliar baits. Whether you're fishing a quiet backwater, a tidal creek, or a muddy impoundment, these hooks are sized and shaped to give you the edge on live bait presentations.

Size 6 suits medium catfish applications and general live bait work. At five hooks per pack, you've got a solid supply for a weekend trip or a season's worth of emergency replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safety pin on this hook and why does it matter?

The built-in safety pin is a small wire or barbed feature that securely holds live bait in place. When you thread a shrimp, shiner, or other live bait onto the hook, the safety pin prevents it from sliding down the shank or spinning during the cast and retrieve—keeping your presentation natural and your bait in the strike zone longer.
