Mustad Wide Gap Jig Hook Black 50ct Size 2/0

The Mustad Wide Gap Jig Hook in size 2/0 is a premium jig hook built for bass anglers and soft-plastic enthusiasts who demand reliable, sharp hooksets. Available in a 50-count box with a black nickel finish, these heavy-wire hooks feature a distinctive wide-gap bend and 28° angle on the shank—geometry designed to penetrate quickly and hold firm once a fish commits. The ultra-sharp point cuts through soft plastics and fish mouths alike, and Nor-Tempered construction ensures the hook won't fracture under the stress of hard hooksets or big fish head shakes.

These jig hooks are purpose-built for forward-eye jig head molds, making them a drop-in choice if you tie or customize your own bass jigs. The 2/0 size sits in that sweet spot for medium presentations—small enough for finesse work in heavy cover, substantial enough to land solid fish on 15–20-pound braid or mono. The wide gap gives your soft plastics room to move and your point a direct path to the corner of a bass's jaw.

Whether you're tying spinnerbaits, crawdads, or creature baits, the Mustad name carries weight in freshwater circles for good reason. These aren't specialty tournament hooks—they're workhorse tools that handle repetitive casting, multiple hooksets, and the abuse that comes with a full day on the water. Stock a box or two; a 50-count supply disappears faster than you'd expect once you find a pattern that works.
