This strong, forged Mustad Red Bait Holder hook has a reversed hook point for better hook attachment. This allows the point to contact the fish's mouth without twisting. The hook has two bait holders/barbs on the shank to better hold the bait in place and hide the point. Depending on the size of the hook, it can be used to target most flatfish species, bream, cod, sea bass and many other species in both fresh and saltwater.
