The Mustad Jig Hook in black nickel with a needle point is a workhorse for building custom jigs from the ground up. This 100-count pack of size 5/0 hooks gives you a solid platform whether you're molding heads for freshwater bass, panfish, or saltwater species. The 1X fine wire construction keeps things light, and the 90º-bend eye is engineered for vertical presentations where you want clean, straight-up hooksets when a fish commits.
Black nickel plating resists corrosion across different water conditions, and the needle point ensures quick penetration on the strike. If you're tying or pouring your own jigs—whether round heads, egg shapes, or football-style molds—these hooks give you the foundation to build exactly what you need for the water you fish. The 5/0 size hits a sweet spot for medium-depth presentations without being oversized for finesse work.
At 100 hooks per box, you've got enough to build out a serious jig selection for a full season or to experiment with different head designs and colors without running out mid-tie session.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the 1X fine wire specification mean?
1X fine wire means the wire diameter is lighter and thinner than standard, keeping jig heads minimal and allowing for more natural, subtle presentations. It's ideal if you're building custom jigs where reducing weight matters for finesse fishing.
Is the 90º-bend eye suitable for deep-water jigging?
Yes. The 90º angle positions the hook eye perpendicular to the shank, which is designed for vertical jigging presentations where you want the jig pulled straight up on the hookset, increasing your odds of a solid connection.
Can I use these hooks for both freshwater and saltwater jigs?
The black nickel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for both environments. However, rinse thoroughly after saltwater use and store dry to extend the life of your jigs.
How many jigs can I tie with 100 hooks?
That depends on your jig design and how many you want to build. With 100 hooks, you have plenty of material to create a diverse selection across multiple colors, head shapes, and sizes—enough for a full season's worth of fishing without running short.
