Mustad Wide Gap Jig Hook Black 50ct Size 1/0
The Mustad Wide Gap Jig Hook in Size 1/0 is a workhorse for anglers building custom jigs or tying soft plastics for bass, pike, and other freshwater predators. This 50-count pack gives you a reliable supply of heavy-wire hooks engineered with a distinctly wide gap—that extra space between point and shank makes hook-setting more forgiving and holds larger baits securely. The 28° bend on the shank is purposeful: it angles the hook eye forward, which is the design that fits popular Do-It bullet bass jig mold heads and similar forward-eye head systems. If you're molding your own jigs or refreshing your tackle box with quality components, these hooks deliver the geometry and durability that serious jig builders depend on.
Built with Nor-Tempered steel and dressed in black nickel finish, each hook is designed to resist corrosion and maintain sharpness through repeated casts. The ultra-sharp point penetrates quickly on the strike, and the heavy wire gauge handles aggressive fish and thick cover without straightening or breaking. Whether you're a serious bass tournament angler, a pike hunter, or a DIY jig tyer who refuses to compromise on components, this hook size and count will keep you rigged and ready.
Size 1/0 is the sweet spot for medium jigs and soft plastics in the 3/8 to 1/2 ounce range, making it versatile enough for shallow grass, moderate depths, and structure work. Stock a box and build the jigs your way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What jig molds do these hooks fit?
The 28° bend on the shank and forward-eye design fit jig mold heads with a forward eye head design, including the popular Do-It bullet bass jig molds and similar systems designed for that configuration.
What size fish and baits are these hooks good for?
Size 1/0 is ideal for medium jigs and soft plastics, typically in the 3/8 to 1/2 ounce range. The wide gap and heavy wire make them suitable for bass, pike, and other freshwater predators that take soft plastic presentations.
Why choose a wide-gap jig hook?
The extra space between the point and shank gives you a wider target on the strike, making hook-setting more reliable. It also accommodates thicker or bulkier baits and holds them more securely in the gap.
Are these hooks corrosion-resistant?
Yes. The black nickel finish and Nor-Tempered steel construction are designed to resist corrosion, helping the hooks maintain sharpness and reliability over repeated use in freshwater environments.
