Comments: Yes. Please make a bigger ewg, wider gap. Obviously useful for fatter baits. With social media, more fishermen are being exposed to old tried and true techniques like flipping a tube. Would love them for standard tubes, magnum tubes, tube craws.....yadda yadda. Gammy. Make an ewg grip-pin. You'd sell the living snot out of them. G-finesse nano coated grip-pin. Come on. I'd slap myself. I'd create emotional buyer's bonanza for ya. Hire me.

Comments: My favorite flipping hook. They hold the bait in place and the hook point angle keeps your bait out of the grass,super sharp,and excellent hookup ratio.

Comments: Mustad Grip-Pin hooks are the best hooks being made right now. I don't think there is anything else that can compare when looking at strength, durability of the hook point, and out of box sharpness. Gamakatsu brand hooks are not being built as strong as they used to so a lot of the hardcore bass guys I fish around are dumping them and looking elsewhere. I did the same and stumbled upon these a couple years ago. So glad I did!! My only complaint about this particular model of hooks is that there is not as much offset as Gamakatsu's EWG. These hooks are even more inline than they look in the photos. I would really like to see an EWG grip-pin with more of an offset. The hook ups are still really good with this hook and you never have to worry about setting too hard or pulling a fish too hard which is great but hook ups would be better with more offset. I have no doubt about it.

Comments: These hooks are great! I used the 6/0 for 12in worm fishing in southern Alabama and I was very impressed with the fact of how well they held that worm inplace through light and dense cover. These are the best hooks I've found and plan on buying more

Comments: These are the best hooks I have ever used. Very sharp but it's the grip pin that makes them so great. It really keeps your baits in place and doesn't let them get torn up so badly. They're a little pricy but can save you money on plastics.

Comments: I LOVE these hooks. These hooks will save you money on soft plastics. Do not use any other EWG hooks besides this anymore. I use it with baitcast setups but if you wanna use it for spinning I would recommend the finesse version of this hook; same great design just not as stout.
From: Quinn: New Jersey 5/7/17
Comments: Use these on for flipping and punching heavy cover, hyacinths, Lilly pads, coontail, hydrilla, you name it. Keeper holds plastics on longer and doesn't snag. Coontail is the worst for fouling a plastic when working the green stuff and these hooks are hands down my favorite.Also use them fishing heavy wood cover on a Carolina rig. Get more consistent hook ups and have fewer occasions where the bait slides down the shank and wads at the base of a hook.. my partner was certainly wishing he was using them this past Saturday! He kept coming unbottoned while fighting the fish in only to find his brushhog wadded down in the bend. Meanwhile I kept hooking up....

Comments: Great hook! from creatures to crawls, senkos to buzz toads, flukes to paddel tails, I use them for everything. I have found them to hold onto the plastic better and help each bait last longer no matter the cover they are fished in. The weighted version is good too. Would defiantly recommend giving them a try.

Comments: hese are the best EWG grip pin hooks out there. I've used the metal pinned hooks and the shrink wrapped keeper hooks. These don't shred the bait when you put one on and I've had no problems with the keeper getting caught on brush/wood, and I fish ALOt of wood cover!
From: Stone: Charlotte, NC 5/30/15
Comments: These hooks are the deal. If you're flipping anything whether its brush, rocks, whatever you name it you need these hooks. I tried Trokars and in my opinion these are better. Your lure WILL last longer for you and its gonna stay on that hook till you take it off. Won't use another brand again

Comments: Fish Z-man baits on this hook and it will save you big bucks and catch you lots of fish. The elaztech material is slippery, and this is the only hook that really holds on to it. Thank you Mustad!!

Comments: love these hooks need to make them in 1/0
From: Dave: Columbia MD
Comments: Agree the old style welded grip pin got caught on weeds but the new design is awesome. pretty much all I use now for pitching and flipping
From: Tom
Comments: Best bait keeper on a flipping hook.
From: Alex: FL
Comments: I have four packs of these hooks and I think they are great. Super sharp hook point and the grip pin makes your plastics last another 1 to 2 fish. Haven't had any issues with the grip pin snagging in heavy cover. Overall, I think this hook is a must have for anybody that throws a lot of soft plastics.
From: Kyle: MI
Comments: I use mine with larger tubes... To address the problem of the pin catching on weeds etc, I took needle-nose pliers & bent the pin inward several degrees. Problem solved & no damage to the hook. Now when the tube is T-rigged the pin curls in tight to the plastic & no snags.....
From: Mark: Gardner, KS
Comments: Grip pin gets snagged on wood and brush. I wouldn't recommend using it around heavy cover.
