Mustad Wide Gap Hook Nickle 100ct Size 3/0

The Mustad Wide Gap Hook in nickel finish is a versatile, workhorse hook built for anglers who want dependable penetration and holding power on live bait and soft presentations. This 100-count pack of size 3/0 hooks comes ready to tie on—whether you're rigging crawdads, shiners, or other live offerings for bass, catfish, pike, or saltwater species. The slightly reversed point design helps keep bait secure after the hookset, and the nickel plating delivers corrosion resistance for freshwater and light saltwater use.

Mustad's design philosophy centers on what actually matters to working anglers: a sharp point that penetrates cleanly, wire that won't bend or break under load, and a profile that lets natural bait do its job. The wide gap on these 3/0 hooks creates extra space between the point and shank, giving you room to work with larger baits and improving your odds of solid hookups. The nickel finish is classic for a reason—it's durable, affordable, and trusted by generations of anglers.

Whether you're fishing from a jon boat, wade-fishing a river, or targeting panfish from the bank, a bulk pack of reliable wide gap hooks in your tackle box means you're never caught without what you need. These aren't fancy or fancy-priced—they're the kind of hook that gets the job done season after season.
