Mustad Jig Hook Bronze 1000ct Size 4

The Mustad Jig Hook Bronze 1000ct Size 4 is a workhorse for anglers who tie their own jigs or stock production boxes for freshwater fishing. Built on 1X extra heavy wire, this hook handles the abuse that comes with larger species and aggressive presentations—whether you're rigging soft plastics, swimbaits, or live bait for bass, crappies, perch, or similar gamefish. The 90° bend eye orients the hook shank vertically on the jig head, promoting a straight-up hook set when a fish strikes and reducing the chance of a missed opportunity.

What sets Mustad's MTL-V1 point apart is the combination of a refined point geometry and an improved sharpening process. The result is 50% less penetration resistance than standard jig hook points—meaning faster, more reliable hookups even when you're fishing heavier covers or deeper structure. The eye is ringed for secure attachment and extra short shank, typical of quality jig-tying hooks that balance strength with the compact profile needed for natural bait and lure presentation.

Bronze finish provides traditional corrosion resistance suitable for freshwater applications. With 1000 hooks per box, you've got the volume to experiment with different jig head shapes—round, egg, teardrop, dart, or football—without worrying about running short mid-season. Whether you're a serious DIY jig builder or someone who ties a few dozen between trips, the Mustad Size 4 offers dependable performance at scale.
