Fishing with live crickets demands a long fine wire hook, to keep the cricket alive for a long time. The Mustad Aberdeen Cricket round bend hook features a 4X extra long shank perfect for presenting crickets. Light enough for surface presentation or fished under a float. Getting started is easy. Hold the cricket between your index finger and thumb. Place the hook point at the back of the cricket just below the head. Work the cricket up the hook and let the point come out from its back. Use it to fish for Brown Trout, Crappies, Bass, Rainbow Trout and Bluegills. The “MTL-V1” point combines a more efficient point design with a new sharpening process to enhance the quality. The result is a sharper, sleek new point shape with penetration resistance 50% lower than standard Classic Hook points! Mustad's Wire Technology and Nor-Tempering Process means that hooks are lighter and up to 30% stronger.
