Mustad KVD Grip-PIN Elite Hook 5ct Size 5/0

The Mustad KVD Grip-PIN Elite Hook in size 5/0 (5-count) brings Kevin VanDam's tournament-proven design to your tackle box. Built on the foundation of the original Triple Grip® series, these hooks feature a specially engineered shape that locks fish into the bend with exceptional holding power—the kind of reliability serious freshwater anglers depend on when every hookup counts. The modified, precise geometry creates an optimal point angle for hard, clean hook sets, while the 1X extra heavy wire delivers the strength needed to horse big fish without worry.

What sets the KVD Elite apart is its thoughtful bend geometry: the angled design resists snagging on structure better than traditional round-bend trebles, so you spend more time fishing and less time picking weeds. Whether you're running heavier crankbaits, dead bait rigs, or soft plastic stinger applications, these hooks are built to perform in serious freshwater conditions. The black nickel finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance.

At 5/0, these hooks suit larger baits and bigger fish. A 5-count pack gives you enough hooks for several tackle configurations or to refresh worn or bent hooks in your current arsenal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fish and baits are these 5/0 hooks suited for?

Size 5/0 is considered a larger hook, ideal for heavier crankbaits, substantial live bait or dead bait presentations, and applications where you're targeting bigger fish. The 1X extra heavy wire supports the demands of larger lures and fish with strength to spare.

Can I use these hooks as stinger hooks on soft plastics?

Yes. The Mustad KVD Elite is designed to work as a soft bait stinger hook, adding backup penetration and holding power to your soft plastic rigs.

Why does the angled bend design matter?

The angled, modified bend of the KVD Elite resists hanging up on structure—weeds, rocks, timber—better than traditional round-bend trebles. This geometry also contributes to the "locking" hook-set characteristic that makes the Triple Grip® design effective at keeping fish pinned.

How many hooks come in this pack?

Each pack contains 5 individual hooks, giving you enough for multiple tackle setups or to replace worn or bent hooks in your existing gear.
