The Mustad Wide Gap Hook in Bronze is a workhorse choice for anglers who want a reliable, sharp hook that holds fish through the fight. This 8-count pack of size 2/0 wide gap hooks delivers the classic Mustad design trusted by freshwater and saltwater fishers alike. The wide gap design provides solid hook clearance—crucial for baiting live crawdads, shrimp, shiners, or other natural baits where you need room to rig without fouling the point. The bronze finish offers a traditional look that blends naturally in most conditions.
What sets these apart is the construction. Mustad's Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering Process make these hooks lighter and up to 30% stronger than standard offerings, so you're getting durability without excess weight. The MTL-V1 point features a sharpened, refined geometry designed for fast, efficient penetration—Mustad engineered this point to have 50% lower penetration resistance than their classic hooks, meaning cleaner hooksets and better hook-ups. The slightly reversed point profile helps secure baits and hooked fish, keeping them from sliding or shaking free at critical moments.
Whether you're sight-fishing in clear streams, working crawdads in lakes, or rigging live shiners for bass or pike, these bronze wide gap hooks give you the edge without gimmicks—just proven hook performance in a convenient 8-pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size bait works best with a 2/0 wide gap hook?
The 2/0 size is ideal for medium-sized live baits like shiners, crawdads, shrimp, and small to medium shiners. The wide gap gives you room to rig these baits without covering the point.
Why is the wide gap design important?
The wide gap between the point and shank prevents the hook eye and bait from fouling the barb during the set, improving your hookup ratio—especially important when fishing with live baits that move around.
How many hooks are in this pack?
This pack contains 8 hooks, size 2/0 in bronze finish.
What does the MTL-V1 point offer compared to standard Mustad hooks?
The MTL-V1 point combines a refined point geometry with an advanced sharpening process. It delivers 50% lower penetration resistance than standard Mustad hook points, meaning easier, faster penetration and more reliable hooksets.
