Highlights

Two points, one shank

A double hook puts two points either side of a bait and takes up far less room than a treble. On big trolled baits and on frogs it holds where a treble would foul.

Two points on one shank

More holding power than a single, less bulk and less fouling than a treble.

Heavy duty

Built for big baits and hard strikes - Mustad doubles run to 2X Strong in the tuna patterns.

Bait and lure use

Doubles are standard on rigged trolling baits, big live baits and hollow-body frogs.

Mustad steel

Norwegian hook-making since 1877, with their own tempering and point processes.

Product description

About this product

Double hooks occupy a specific niche. A single hook is neat but gives you one point. A treble gives you three but is bulky, fouls readily, and is awkward to remove from a fish you intend to release. A double sits between them – two points on a single shank, straddling the bait, holding well without the bulk.

That is why doubles are standard on rigged trolling baits, on large live baits where a treble would kill the bait, and on hollow-body frogs, where the two points lie along the back and come free when the body collapses on the strike.

Mustad make a full range of doubles: the 7825-BR and 7897-DS general patterns, the 7982HS-SS and 7982H-DT O Shaughnessy tuna doubles in 2X Strong stainless and Duratin, the 78124NP-BN and 78122NP-BN soft-plastic frog doubles, the 7904-BR liver hook with safety pin, and the barbless 78923-SS.

An honest note on the name. Neither Brawny nor Thunderfish appears anywhere in Mustad catalogue – this is a retail or regional pack name. The hook inside will carry one of the codes above on the packet. Ask us and we will read it off before you order, so you know the wire strength, finish and sizes you are buying.

Questions

Good to know

Is Brawny Thunderfish a Mustad product?

No. Neither word appears anywhere in Mustad catalogue, which lists its doubles under codes such as 7825-BR, 7982H-DT and 78124NP-BN. This is a retail or regional pack name. Ask us and we will read the code off the actual packet before you order.

When would I use a double rather than a treble?

On rigged trolling baits and big live baits, where a treble is too bulky and fouls; on hollow-body frogs, where the points lie along the back; and wherever you want fewer points to remove from a fish you intend to release.

Are doubles better for the fish?

Generally yes, compared with trebles. Fewer points means less damage and a quicker release. Many fisheries that restrict trebles allow doubles or singles for exactly that reason.

How do I rig one on a trolled bait?

Through the bait so that both points sit clear on either side, with the shank running along the body and the eye at the nose for the leader. There are several accepted rigging methods - tell us what bait you are using and we will talk it through.

What wire strength do I need?

For tuna and big-game trolling, 2X Strong or heavier. For frogs and soft plastics, a standard or 2X pattern. Since our supplier does not publish the wire for this listing, ask us and we will check the packet.

What is UltraPoint?

Mustad point package. The point is sharpened in three stages by their Opti-Angle process, which removes less metal than conventional grinding, so it is sharper and stays sharp instead of rolling over. Mustad specify it as 4.3 UltraPoint - a point length 4.3 times the wire diameter.

What size do I need?

Our supplier does not publish the sizes or pack quantities carried in this listing. Tell us what you are fishing for and we will read the pack code in the shop and tell you exactly what is on the shelf before you order.

How do I look after hooks in salt water?

Rinse used hooks in fresh water and dry them before they go back in the box - a wet salty hook rusts its neighbours as well as itself. Keep them in a sealed box rather than an open tray, and throw away any hook whose point will not catch on a thumbnail.
