Mustad Wide Gap Hook Bronze 100ct Size 1

The Mustad Wide Gap Hook in bronze is a workhorse choice for anglers who need dependable hooksets and reliable holding power. This 100-count pack of Size 1 hooks delivers the classic wide gap profile that's proven effective for live bait presentations and natural rigging. The slightly reversed point geometry is designed to penetrate quickly while the hollow point design helps keep bait and fish seated securely after the hookset—a real advantage when you're working distance or dealing with soft-mouthed species.

Mustad's proprietary Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering Process mean these hooks are built lighter without sacrificing strength—in fact, they're up to 30% stronger than conventional hooks. The MTL-V1 point combines an efficient point geometry with a modern sharpening process that delivers a sharper, sleeker point with significantly lower penetration resistance than standard Classic hooks. The bronze finish offers a natural appearance that blends well in clear to slightly stained water.

Whether you're rigging live crawdads, shrimps, larvae, San Juan worms, or shiners, the Size 1 wide gap gives you the bite clearance you need for quick, sure hook penetration. The 100-count bulk pack means you'll have plenty on hand for a full season of fishing without frequent restocking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size live bait works best with a Size 1 wide gap hook?

The Size 1 wide gap is well-suited for smaller bait like crawdad sections, shrimp, larvae, San Juan worms, and small shiners. The gap width gives you clearance for quick, sure hooksets without the bait fouling the point.

Why is the wide gap design better for live bait?

The wider distance between the point and shank means your bait sits securely in the gap, the point penetrates quickly when a fish takes it, and the slightly reversed hollow point helps keep both bait and fish locked in place after hookset.

How many hooks come in this pack?

This is a 100-count pack, giving you plenty of Size 1 wide gap hooks for a full season of fishing without frequent restocking.
