Mustad KVD Elite Triple Grip Treble, Forged - Black Nickel 11ct Size 6
The Mustad KVD Elite Triple Grip Treble in size 6, black nickel finish, is a forged treble hook engineered to lock fish in the bend and hold them hard. Built on the proven Triple Grip foundation but refined with a modified shape that Kevin VanDam's tournament experience demanded, this hook excels on crankbaits and other lures where solid hookups and minimal throwoffs matter. The geometry of the bend creates an almost mechanical lock at the elbow, making it exceptionally difficult for fish to escape once the hook is set.
The precise angle of the points works in your favor at the moment of hook set, concentrating force exactly where it counts. That same deliberate shaping also means you'll spend less time snagged on underwater cover—a real advantage when you're working structure-heavy water. Black nickel finish resists corrosion and blends into most conditions, and the forged construction delivers the strength needed to land hard-fighting bass and pike without bending or breaking.
Whether you're a tournament angler fine-tuning every detail or a serious crankbait fisherman who's tired of losing fish at the boat, the KVD Elite Triple Grip deserves a spot in your tackle box. It's the hook that performs when precision design and durability matter most.

Will this hook snag on structure more than other trebles?
No—the angled design of the KVD Elite Triple Grip is actually less prone to snagging on cover and structure than traditional round-bend trebles, making it a good choice for anglers working heavy timber, rocks, or grass.
What lures work best with this hook?
The KVD Elite Triple Grip excels on crankbaits and other reaction baits. The proven performance on these lures is what this hook was refined for.
How many hooks are in a pack?
Each pack contains 11 hooks, giving you plenty to rig multiple crankbaits or replace worn hooks throughout a season.
