Built for baiting, the Notorious Hook takes a traditional octopus shape and maximizes hooking power. AlphPoint 4.8 Technology, the latest in needlepoint innovation, combines the durability of Mustad Opti-Angle sharpening technique with impeccable sharpness. The offset shank and tight gap make the Notorious hook nearly impossible to throw. Mustad has applied Titan Steel finish for extended 500+ hours saltwater corrosion resistance, second only to stainless steel.
