Mustad Short Shank Aberdeen 3254NP-BN Hooks

Description

The Mustad Aberdeen hook has been an all-time favorite with salt and freshwater anglers.

This long-shanked hook is perfect when using long natural baits, such rag, or sand worms, or as live bait hook. In the Mediterranean, the use of long shank hook, is popular especially with silicone lures, when the target prey has a wide mouth and sharp teeth. The hook with a long shank can make a noticeable difference, as the target prey will find it harder to swallow while the chances of a hook set are increasing, as the leader line does not come anywhere near its teeth.

Mustad offers the Aberdeen 32813NP hook and the Short Shank Aberdeen 3254NP-BN, which has the classic Aberdeen bend, but with a shorter shank than normal. This makes it a good choice for baiting with fish and squid strips, or for using with shellfish and crab. It has a straight shank and ring eye.

They feature Mustad’s Ultrapoint for improved penetration and they are ‘Nor-Tempered’ to give them extra strength, even in the smaller sizes.

The Mustad Aberdeen Short Shank Hook is a true all-round hook, which can be used to present any bait for species ranging from small Whiting and Sea Robins to Sea Bass and Cod. Available in Black nickel finish.
