Mustad Trot Line Hook 100ct Size 2/0
The Mustad Trot Line Hook in Size 2/0 is a reliable choice for anglers setting up trot lines to target bottom-feeding fish species. Available in bulk 100-count packages, these hooks are built on the classic Limerick pattern that has proven itself across decades of saltwater and freshwater fishing. Whether you're running a trot line for catfish, cod, or other bottom dwellers, the Mustad 2/0 delivers consistent hook-ups and dependable performance without breaking the bank.
Trot line fishing rewards patience and preparation—and having quality hooks in quantity matters. The Limerick design works well with natural baits like live shad, shiners, or cut bait. The 2/0 size sits in the sweet spot for many bottom-feeding species: large enough to deter small trash fish but not so oversized that it deters legitimate targets. A 100-count box means you can rig multiple trot lines, replace worn hooks, and keep spares on hand without running short mid-season.
Mustad has been making fishing hooks since 1877, and the Limerick pattern endures because it works. These aren't fancy—just honest, sharpened steel that does the job. Stock a few boxes and you'll have trot line hooks on hand whenever you need them.

That depends on how many hooks you use per line and how many lines you run. A 100-count box gives you plenty of hooks for multiple setups or to keep as backup for the season. Many anglers buy multiple boxes to ensure they never run short.
What kind of bait works best with these hooks?
The Limerick pattern works well with natural baits such as live baitfish, cut shad, shiners, and similar offerings. The hook is designed for bottom fishing, so it pairs naturally with dead or live bait presentations.
Are these hooks saltwater-rated?
The Limerick pattern has a long history in saltwater bottom fishing. For extended saltwater use, proper maintenance and storage are recommended to preserve hook condition.
